“Don’t make a spectacle of yourself”

Black and Pink

Vision so clear
I can not fear
If I ever lost them
To a whirlwind
Would I be sent

Like a second skin
Through thick and thin
As thick as thieves
My spectacles and me
As far as I can see

“Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow” Fran Drescher

Yellow

Not quite a rose
Still has its thorns
Gorgeous in its pose
A little red adorns
Not quite a flower
Still has the power
Each time to wow her

Eye Spy (The Daily Post)

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Eye Spy

We’ve got our eye on your photos this week. (See what we did there?)

EYE-SPY

“Hey, I can see you, and me, and you, and… oh, I like this!” Kelly Robinson

Eye Spy

I spy
Behind my protected eye
A man from Shanghai
With a really nice tie
Passing me by
Eating an apple pie
Waving goodbye
As, in a hurry to buy
A ticket to fly
Away to Mumbai

Throwback Thursday 2015-12-10

Today is time for a walk down memory lane again and dig into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind since the beginning of time. Well at least from the beginning of this blog 😛

Here are a few featured today:

I may not be Everyone’s Cup of Tea, but I am Someone’s Double Vodka (Repost for TBT)

“If you don’t like me, fine. It’s not my job to make you happy”

I may not be Everyone’s Cup of Tea, but I am Someone’s Double Vodka

You dont have to like me
Or be my friend
I am not looking for a life partner
Just someone to understand

If you expect to mend
And change my existence
I’d rather you just pretend
Then try to fix it

Somewhere
Someone
Is buying
What I am
Selling

I may not be
Your cup of tea
But surely some one
Prefers me
As their double vodka

Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is! (Repost for TBT)

“There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles” ~Author Unknown

Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is!

You may be iconic
But also diabolic
It’s quite symbolic
To call me a ‘holic
But still I frolic
When I get glycogenic

Pining for your taste
Of the full flavour laced
With truffles
My mouth muffled
When I eat
My favourite treat

My life in dire straits
Would be
Without the traits
You offer me
Oh sweet Chocolate
Thee

Life is a Musical (number) (Repost for TBT)

“The world’s most famous and popular language is music” Psy

Life is a Musical (number)

Luck be a lady
Don’t be shady
Roll on those dice
Bring me nothing
But blue skies
Today

All day long
Singing along
Dancing, prancing
Even romancing
In the rain
Real life
Down the drain

Feels like
Witchcraft
Sorcery
No worries
Of groceries
When I’m riding
On this plane

All is fine
There is no time
To slow down
Get me to
Funky town

My life is
A musical
Today

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Rhodes Island, Part Four

Rhodes Island, Greece
A small piece
Of our history
Beyond the centuries
The old town
Considered the crown
The beach
At your reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you need
On the small island of Greece
