World Wide Wednesday in Brazil

slow-boat

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

Slow Boat down the River

On a slow boat
On this wide moat
Did bring a tote
Filled with some oat
To feed the goat…

“Wait a minute, wait a minute?
River, oat, goat?
What’s the catch in this?”

“Well, it’s for me to know
And you to find out!”

Roof Top

Sitting on the roof top

Why?

Because it was time for a stop
Switch gears, and make a swap

Now

Laying around like a blob
Thinking(?)
I need to pick up that mop

Never mind
It’s just a job
I can easily do
Tomorrow

Biker Dude

Down the street
Engine setting the beat
No time to tweet
Not even, for any sweets
“Got some pals to meet
And,
Dry my soaking feet!”

Forest for Mundane Monday

“Time had changed the magical to mundane”

Peekaboo!

“Peekaboo, I see you!”
Retorted the ray of light
When she had me in sight

“Time had changed the magical to mundane”
― Rohinton Mistry

Dark Side vs. Light Side of the Forest

“Welcome, to the dark side!”
Greeted the little dark gremlin, as I eagerly stepped on the mossy patch….

“Welcome, to the lighter side!”
Singsonged a white entity, trying to lure me into the sunlight….

Red, Red Roses for Daily Photo

“If you want to say it with flowers, a single rose says: ‘I’m cheap!’ Delta Burke

Close Up 

“I am ready for my close-up, Ms Photographer Lady!”

No clicks of the shutter can be heard

“Hey lady! Over here! See, pretty as hell!”

Still nothing

“Hey miss-wannabe-photo-snapper, I am standing here, waiting… My time is not cheap you know!”

And yet no luck…

“OK, so now I am really getting pissed: Get your big butt over here and snap some pix, PRONTO!”

The pix-snapper finally reacts: “OK, OK, don’t get your knickers in a twist: I was just polishing my lens…”
“Gee, what a diva…”

“Snap, snap, snap… a presto!”

Solo 

Flying solo
When ever the wind blows
And not even snow
Will make me loose my glow….

…Unless I have to stop and my nose blow!

One Among Many 

Listen carefully
You might hear the soft whispers
Of the pretty rose sisters
Sitting in the vase neatly…

“Don’t push me!”

“Ouch, that really hurt!”

“You know, your thorns are really sharp!”

“Me, me, me, I want to be first!”

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…
