Come on Knock on Our Door!

“Come and knock on our door… (Come and knock on our door)
We’ve been waiting for you…. (We’ve been waiting for you)
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,
Three’s company too.”

Three’s Company theme song

Thirsty

A drinking well
Today’s biggest sell
The passersby do tell
Or even broadcast it
On your cell!

Quench your thirst
The keeper reimburse
But first:
Wash your hands!

The Yellow House

The old yellow house
Too big for a mouse
But maybe a fit
For you and your spouse

For a while
Planning to stay
In this cozy
Family style cafe

Triptych 

Not saving any ink
Painted pink
The house stands tall
Winter, Spring, Summer and fall
In the harbour
From port to starboard

Narrow for The Daily Post

“They say it is a wide road that leads to war and only a narrow path that leads home again.”

Narrow Surface

Tiptoeing
On this narrow stick
Easy going
Because, it really
Is not so thick!

Gate

“Open the gate!
Open the gate!”

The crowd went wild
Like a petulant child
The boat was arriving
No time for driving

“Got to get on board!
Because I left my Ford
On the docks
And it’s locked!”

And finally
To borrow a quote,
On a slow boat
To meet my privacy

Light at the end of the Tunnel

Every tunnel
Has its light
At the end
Of the funnel

Luxury Flat

Stuck between
A rock
And a hard place
– That’s
The flat
She stays in
