Monday: Another Bloody Monday

Monday: Another Bloody Monday

Couldn’t sleep
So I woke up early
Still oh so tired
Logged on to my computer
Surprisingly, nothing worked
Tried and re-tried
Booted, hooted, shouted
Unfortunately to no end
The whole network was down
I was cut off,
From the world!
Another bloody Monday
Has just reared its ugly head…
…again

A Seat fit for a Queen for Seat Sunday

Posted in Seat Sunday 

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin;
what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein

A Seat fit for a Queen

A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

Caturday from the Past

Posted in Caturday

“In nine lifetimes,
you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you”
Michel de Montaigne

Caturday

I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!

Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife

London in Black and White in the Rain

…Never mind the sad bad weather
My skin is made of thick leather
A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

London in Black and White in the Rain for World Wide Wednesday I one

London in Black and White in the Rain

Rain, rain, rain
Running down the drain
Around in the City of London
Without the feeling of boredom
Too many things to see
Face lit up with a glee…

Monday Bloody Monday

Posted in Mondays

“Why is Monday so far from Friday, and Friday so near to Monday?”

Monday Bloody Monday

Monday, bloody Monday
It is certainly not my fun day
Still five days until Friday
This could well be my die day

My calendar filled with meetings
No time for eating
Feeling like cheating
When trying to catch a break for peeing

No use in struggle or fighting 
Almost worse than being struck by a lightning
Dealing with the disappointment
Because there is no ointment

Another working week has started
From my leisure time I was parted
Doing my best to survive
Just wishing to keep in the drive

Tell me, do I really hate Mondays
Or is it just the illusion of a fading Sunday?

Little Red Chair for Seat Sunday

“If it’s the right chair,
it doesn’t take too long to get comfortable in it”
Robert De Niro

Little Red Chair 

“If the chair fits
Sit on it!”

Oh, little red seat
Your presence us greets
You are so sweet
Such a visual treat
Even the photo turned out neat
That I just had to tweet

“Sometimes I’m so sweet even I can’t stand it.”
Julie Andrews

Happy Birthday Dame Julie Andrews!

The hills are alive
With the sound of Julie
Moving along with a jive
An ageless beauty

Victor Victoria and The Sound of Music
With Mary Poppins adds to pure magic
Theatre, movies, musicals and records
Hitting the set of perfect chords
A truly multitalented performer
With a knack of being a transformer

Damehood received
Fans very pleased
Our Dame Julie
We love you truly

 

Happy with my kitty for Caturday

For Caturday

Happy with my kitty
So I wrote this little ditty
Why don’t you sing along
To the tune of this familiar song

Soft kitty, warm kitty
Purring on my lap
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty
Why don’t I too take a nap

My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer
