“Like cats and dogs they say,
When the two mixed are at play”
Sleepy Cat, Sleepy Dog
Sleepy Kitty
Sleepy Doggy
Looking pretty
While feeling groggy
Outside soggy
Inside chilly
Better hide
Heads under covers glide
For today is not
For the outside
“Feeling hotter
Maybe much later
We’ll get up!”
“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton,
you may as well make it dance”
George Bernard Shaw
Skeletons in the Closet
I found some skeletons, deep in my closet
I don’t know how they got there, possibly it was a good idea as a deposit
Now, I know this house is old, drafty and has leaky faucets
Yes, and it has caused quite the dent in my wallet
But as you can probably surmise
And imagine my total surprise
When these bones from the past
Out from their hiding splashed
So now, I am sitting on the floor
Carefully watching the door
Hoping to get these bones ridden
To a place safe, secret, away hidden
Unfortunately, at this day and age, I don’t have a time portal
Which could aide me to turn back time and make all normal
Make past things right, to not to run away from the fights
But, now I can only try to hide, that which I once let slide
People in glass houses, should not throw bones
Keep off your microphones and telephones in your own homes
You can never be too sure or safe
So just remember to lock your secrets in a very safe place

Two to four wheels at the time
When roaming around the roads of a different land
Sometimes you want to try something else than to stand
On your two legs, strolling around might be a lot of fun
Or then too damned exhausting under the scorching sun
So why settle for tears and lots and lots of running sweat
Why don’t you try a different approach instead?
And hop on a ride with two or four wheels and let
These manual and motorized vehicles of plenty
Are simple and easy to be selected
Just walk into any of the road side rentals
Try and pick up the most suited pedals
Then follow these few steps
And you are for a day set:
Fill up the tank
Don’t forget your thanks
And like in the cliché movie done
Ride towards the setting sun
Like I said, this can be a lot of fun!
“Better to be busy than to be busy worrying” Angela Lansbury
Happy 94th Birthday Dame Angela
Cannot hide
From those gorgeous blue eyes
When I finally spy
My favourite lady
Of the world of theatre
There is nothing shady
Of the dame so extraordinary
There really is no comparing
To any other talent about
Once her voice comes aloud
The magnificence filling the room
As all our viewers soon
Get our dose of her presence
Sharing in her essence
And what better gift
For a fan girl or boy to uplift
Spirits on this day
Of ninety fourth birthday
Live long and prosper Dame Angela!
“I found this, in the morning, frozen” Gun Roswell
Flash Freeze
The rain came yesterday, with a loud ring
Drenched in its path, nature and everything
But that was nothing compared to what happened next
As the night fell, things got really fast and rather perplexed
In one single moment, the temperature dropped
Before anyone could react or stay on top
In a blink of an eye, at least someone did spy
Everything left out there, in the open wide
Got a touch of the “flash freeze” frozen solid in time
“It’s Monday again, Mundane Monday!” Gun Roswell
Mundane Monday Again
No matter if you are travelling or at home
There is always something mundane going on
During the first day of the week
You might not always really find what you seek
But look around what the world of mundane will bring
You may be surprised of the same old things
Look so much different depending of the mood or light
Some of them coming finally to life
There is art where you least expect it to be adored
Just grab your camera and a new attitude and go to explore
It may be Monday, that one specific day
We all love so much to hate, well, at least of it debate
Just call it the beginning of an interesting week to enjoy
Because Friday will get here sooner than you have time to shout:
“Ahoy!”
“When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family’s car at the drive-in” Forest Whitaker
Sunny Side on the Bench
On the sunny side of the bench
No option of getting drenched
Enjoying the long, warming rays
In these unworried and lazy days
Before the days are done
Soaking in the healing sun
With closed eyes this moment
Like an image in my mind burnt

“Dogs are like kids. Cats are like roommates.”
― Oliver Gaspirtz, A Treasury of Pet Humor
Hiding myself
I feel shy today
Alone in this place
They made me stay
So just read my face
It’s clearly splayed
I won’t be swayed
To stay in this place
One more day!
“I love work, I could sit and watch people working for hours on end!” Gun Roswell
People Watching
In my own hide away I take things really slow
As I keep on watching life on the streets below
People, cars, rushing by
Time sometimes fast sometimes slow by fly
On ther way to their way to different places
Nothing and no one for a long still stays as is
Making observations and mental notes
Sometimes even daring, to take a few photos
Never a part of them, never far away from them
But ever the vigilant watcher
Of the life down on the streets never stopping there
“Autumn, Fall, what ever they may it call, it’s still gorgeous!” Gun Roswell
Autumn, Fall
In the middle, of the busiest of city centres
Lies a hidden treasure, an oasis, oh so totally splendid
Waters too, clear and very blue, just as the above fluffy clouded sky
The air, today, crisp and clean, with only a few small birds in flight
The bigger ones, such as ducks and even several swans
Make their own way, on the solid ground
But, soon enough, diving into the inviting waters
Frolicking, bathing, even playing, like sea otters
Which in this treasured pond, are not really, found
The odd passer by, giving, to the animals, all around
Treats of plenty, and then, remain watching, in complete awe
As the nature and the animals together a tableau worth a painting form
And for a passing moment, even time itself, completely stalls
