“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination” Jimmy Dean

Toupee blowing Weather

The wind factor so high
It would make Trump’s toupee fly
This is a time for one of Takei’s “Oh Mys”

Sleepy

The working day is done
I had lots and lots of fun
In my eyes I got sleeping sand
Time to travel to La-La land
Before the morning calls
I wish,
A good night to you all

Conqueror

Top of the world ma!
Or at least a street turtle
I go this far
So bring on the hurdles
I may be quite small
But I will conquer them all

Ready to be tested

Like a true snoopy

So bring on the world

Poetry, photography, tales and things that nature!

“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt” William Allingham

The End of Colour

This is the end of colour
Of the pain and sorrow!
The October rain
Finally came
Lashed down the leaves
Now it’s just heaps
Of gray on the ground
No colour to be found
It is the end of colour

On the Streets of Vienna for World Wide Wednesday

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel

Space Oddity in Vienna

“This is ground control: Major Tom, please respond: over”

“This is Major Tom: over”

“Major Tom, we have located your space pod: over”

A moment of silence on the receiving end before response:
“Um… Where exactly did you find it: over”

“City of Vienna, Austria: over”

A muffled “oops” is heard from Major Tom’s end:
“O-K, ground control. Um, any chance you could give me a lift there?: over”

“Roger that M T! By the by, we do not seem to be able to track you on the device: over”

“Well, I am kind of in a situation here…” odd noises heard on the background, “What if I just send my coordinates and you can send vehicle, OK? : over”

In the ground control, quick typing can be heard and in the distance, a loud O.M.G.
“Ah, we got your location. Sending extraction right away: over”

“A big thanks, ground control! End transmission”

 

Back at the ground control, the two officers are staring at the screen where the location of Major Tom is blinking. The other officer turns to look at the other one:

“I can’t believe he actually ended up there…”
“Yeah, me neither”
The officers continue to stare at the blinking screen, both shaking their heads in disbelief…

And what was the location where Major Tom had ended up in?
Well…

Reflections at the Exit

When you exit
Across the glass made of plexi
Your face is reflecting
…
Fair warning: images in the mirror may not be as pretty as in real life (or in your own mind ;P)!

Technisches Museum Wien

Highly geometrical
Absolutely spectacular
With oh so many decimals
A house of the technical

OK, so it’s the museum for Tech:
Go and check it out all you wanna be nerds!
