“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”

Ode to My Family

Can’t live with them
Can’t live with them
That is really all that can be said
Rather than whining, I wrote this ode instead

I would like to put them in a box
And take them out when ever needed
But there is a warning to be headed
They really are quite crazy
Maybe a little hazy
And cunning like the fox
The may not be my kind of crazy
But they are still family
Even though scattered all over
Like a five leaf clover
I still have the luxury
Maybe even compulsory
To keep in touch with them
Thank Goodness for such gems
As Instagram and Facebook
Now we are all hooked

So without resistance
Lets enjoy the distance
No just kidding
I love you guys!

Family (The Daily Post: Future)

Family you are born to
Family you can make
They may not always be what you want
But be sure to give them a break

Reflections: Daily Photos (2016-04-12): One

“One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other than human” Loren Eiseley

Reflections

Early morning,
The sun is rising

Calm is the water’s surface
Nothing, but nothing disturbs it

A few fluffy clouds in the sky
High, high up they fly

Spend a moment of peace
Your mind completely at ease

Before the working day begins
And it is time to check in

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Mundane Monday (2016-04-11)

Monday attitude?
More, like a platitude!

Don’t slouch
And be a grouch
Get off that couch!

Choose a mental state
Which is not sedate
Sit up straight
And join the debate!

Repeat this mantra
It’s only a Monday
Tomorrow’s Tuesday…
And abracadabra
Soon enough, Friday

“Leave no stone unturned” Euripides

Carved in Stone 

Dwellings, carved in stone
By inhabitants, long since gone
Now a testament for all known
Like gemstones on a throne

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

Little Red Chair (Seat Sunday)

“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

Dogs 1a

“Dogs are my favorite people” Richard Dean Anderson

Cats ans Dogs 

Cats and Dogs
Put them in a box
What secrets untold
Before you unfold
When the box is opened
Only keep hoping
There is no other agenda
Are they friends or enemies
Or just plain frenemies
That is the age old dilemma
Of Cats and Dogs

“Never try to outstubborn a cat” Robert A. Heinlein

Cats, Dogs and Ladies (Caturday)

Cats, dogs and ladies
All live under the same roof
A gentle mix of meows and woofs
Added with some ifs, buts and maybes

caturday-3    caturday-4

A playful sparring match
For the appetite to catch
Before dinner time calls
And they arrive on all fours

caturday-2

What we can all agree upon
Is a comfortable seat to cuddle on
All gathering into the same spot
All together tight as a knot

hatches 1

“Three of us will help the other two get suited up, get them in the hatch, and get them out the door” Mark Kelly

Hatches 

Attach the hatch with a latch
To secure the precious badge
If the latch is not attached to the hatch
The catch is there might be a snatch
And the badge elsewhere will be dispatched
