“Wake up and smell the roses”
A Rose by any other Name
You delicate little thing
What joy for me you bring
You landed on my desk
Looking oh so statuesque
You were a gift for my birthday
Even though it was a workday
Thanks dear work mates
Bringing something great
To an otherwise dreary day

“Travellers never think that they are the foreigners” Mason Cooley
Lanzarote
A stroll around down town
A Lidl and a few shoeshops found
Time for a scenic break
Before to the road we take

“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles” Deborah Norville
Falsified Self-image
The shadow reflected
Not what I expected
Feeling disconnected
Somehow misrepresented
It has to be rejected
And quickly corrected
My true self resurrected
This image perfected

“I don’t generally like running.
I believe in training by rising gently up
and down from the bench”
Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
The End

Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kit
Whether it’s a business, or a personal hobby;
There is nothing like a good starter kit, to get you off the ground!
Before you know it
Your collecting will start growing
You will feel the life altering experience
Provided only, by these tiny creatures
And soon enough, you too, can be part of, the Crazy Cat Lady Alliance!
If you don’t believe us,
Just listen to some of the testimonies by our satisfied clients:
“I was a mess, totally lost, ’till I heard of “the Kit”.
Now, I am totally hooked! Cats and kittens all over my house!
Even cat hair on my blouse.
I could not be more happy!”
“I was working twenty-four-seven, my life consumed by work.
I was lonely and at the end of my rope. Then, one day I saw the ad:
The Starter Kit completely turned my life around!
Cats, cats, cats, my 24-7 acts! Nothing more do I want in my life!”
So order yours now, before we run out.
Call now, the lines are open, so press those buttons!

“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton,
you may as well make it dance”
George Bernard Shaw
Skeletons in the Closet
I found some skeletons, deep in my closet
I don’t know how they got there, possibly it was a good idea as a deposit
Now, I know this house is old, drafty and has leaky faucets
Yes, and it has caused quite the dent in my wallet
But as you can probably surmise
And imagine my total surprise
When these bones from the past
Out from their hiding splashed
So now, I am sitting on the floor
Carefully watching the door
Hoping to get these bones ridden
To a place safe, secret, away hidden
Unfortunately, at this day and age, I don’t have a time portal
Which could aide me to turn back time and make all normal
Make past things right, to not to run away from the fights
But, now I can only try to hide, that which I once let slide
People in glass houses, should not throw bones
Keep off your microphones and telephones in your own homes
You can never be too sure or safe
So just remember to lock your secrets in a very safe place

“Black as night, sweet as sin” Neil Gaiman
Coffee made me do it!
Today I went off the edge
I didn’t even take a pledge
I pranced around like a Fred Astaire
The others looking with a stare
Laughing out very loud
And feeling extremely proud
An old tune from years ago
Nothing to stop the show
I started singing that tune
Not being any kind of prune
Why this happened you may ask
It wasn’t anything from a flask
Though I have one excuse to acquit
The Coffee made me do it!

“Traveling –
it leaves you speechless,
then turns you into a storyteller.”
Ibn Battuta
London
On the streets of London
In just a few hops
Over the rooftops
And in to. the hustle and bustle

Over the Railing
Over the railing and
Into the water
Retorted Harry Potter
As he dove underwater

Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
