“A bad day in London is still better than a good day anywhere else”
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

“A bad day in London is still better than a good day anywhere else”
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…

“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?

“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

“Time spent with cats is never wasted”
Sigmund Freud
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
Posted in Fabulous Friday
“I understand what’s it like to work all week
and on Friday night just want to go
and leave your brain at the door,
buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something”
Don Cheadle
Have a Fabulous Friday!
Leaving the working week far behind
I really have no idea how I ever survived
Fabulous Friday knocking at the door
Awaiting to carry me to a different shore
A glittering sequin dress, a pair of high heels
This is as good as it gets and feels
Leave your sad face and the bad place
Awaited Fabulous Friday is finally here
Prancing, dancing
Singing, winning
There is no stopping us
Well, not at least until the bus
Has arrived to take us home

“I’m a writer and, therefore,
automatically a suspicious character”
Sir Alfred Hitchcock
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, and a Writer
Looking into
A writers mind
You may phew
On what you find
Look in,
Carefully
Surprisingly
Lurking
Emerging
A
Tinker, Tailor,
Soldier, Sailor,
Rich Man, Poor Man,
Beggar Man, Thief
Peeping Tom, Stalker
Pervert, Prude
Sister, Brother
Loud Mouth, Mute
A
Antagonist
Protagonist
Killer, Saviour
Bad behaviour?
Winner, Looser
Coward, Hero
Or simply a Zero?
Storyteller, Liar
Truth teller, Denier
A questionable character?
Or just a clever Actor?
Psychopath,
Or, on a Path?
Writer, Politician, or a Crook?
Did I get you hooked?

“There’s nowhere else like London.
Nothing at all, anywhere”
Vivienne Westwood
London in Black and White
…Hop on a bus
Without much fuss
Follow the lines
And you’ll be fine
Eyes wide open
Seeing more than hoping
In the evening
You are dreaming
Of how much more
The next day has in store

“There’s nowhere else like London.
Nothing at all, anywhere”
Vivienne Westwood
London in Black and White
Over the rooftops
To the hustle and bustle
Of the streets of London
In just a few hops
A few old castles
And a famous dungeon…
