Snow Mummies (TBT)

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”
Carl Reiner

Snow Mummies

Uncovered from the snow
In the dark night they glow
Small black stones for eyes
Only afraid of the sunrise
Melting their worst enemy
Cold weather the only remedy
Sitting pretty for now
Until the earth they will bow

Down the Hill (TBT)

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”

Down the Hill 

downhill-6     downhill-7     downhill-8

When ever there is snow on the ground
And a small mountain or a molehill found
The kids will arrive in flocks
Dragging their sleighs to the top
“Mommy, mommy, look at me!
Look how fast I am going!
Oops, look, there’s a tree!”

<Crash, bang, boing>

“Mommy, mommy, look no teeth!”
The kid only laughingly stated
As back up hill he ventured
If only to once more ride
Before getting his dentures

“What’s in a name?
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”

What is in a name?
Does it come with fame?
If it doesn’t suite you, who’s to blame?
It’s all the same:
Just use what ever name they gave
And continue playing the game

Took it out from a handbag
My printed name, on a tag
Put on the wall, just as a gag

The evening filled
With colourful lights
Cool wind chilled
Time to head inside
The Aquarium a choice
Listening to sealife’s voice

Feeling very entertained
Passing the mountain chain
And the flattest of plains
There is nothing mundane
About this trip across the domain
