“Actors, I don’t think, ever really grow up. I’m hoping that that rejuvenating process applies to me, too. It has so far. I’ve been very lucky” Derek Jacobi
Happy Birthday Sir Derek Jacobi
Loved you in Claudius
Adored you in Octavius
Excellent performance in Cadfael
Utterly radiant in Halifax
And completely hilarious in Vicious
On this special day
An homage I’d like to pay
With wishes most sincere
To an actor utterly revered
Sir Derek Jacobi

… Now you are the coffee master
And life will go much smoother and faster
To avoid any future disaster
Just have another cup with laughter!

Coffee
Strong enough to scare a zombie
Add some sweet toffee
Bring a cup to your mommy
If you want to make it more naughty
Add a touch of kamikaze
(if you have to ask, you are not ready for this!)

“Providing I can put one foot in front of the other, I will continue to act.”
Dame Angela Lansbury
Happy 91st Birthday Dame Angela Lansbury
Our Same of Dames
Surely, even the name explains
Angel, Angela
Dame Angela
You may be siting algebra
Or even the Magna Carta
Your voice a lullaby
Your presence divine
Live Long and Prosper
Dame Angela!

“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury
Blue Eyes
She’s got grace and style
And to top it, a great smile
Oh those blue eyes
Could light up the skies
Her face most adorable
Her talent undeniable
Like the whirlwind
Still hard at working
A Queen without a crown
A Dame with a gown
She is the belle of the ball
So say we all
Now and for ever more

“It’s such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out” Sigourney Weaver
Happy 67th Birthday Sigourney Weaver
Titillating, luscious, sexy
Statuesque, stately, leggy
Just a few adjectives to describe
An actress quite divine
Drama, comedy, horror
Sometimes even the explorer
Quite the knack for science fiction
Up to the point of fans’ addiction
The queen of all queens
Our one and only Sci-Fi Queen
On this day of celebration
Thanking you for your dedication
What more is there to say
But a very Happy Birthday
Celebrating World Animal Day
“The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated” Mahatma Gandhi
World Animal Day, 4th of October
What would the world be
Without a cat, elephant or a bee
As far as the eye can see
Birds sitting in the trees
Join in and celebrate
All creatures great and small
They have given us much more
Than anyone can elaborate

“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons” T. S. Eliot
Coffee makes the world go around
Coffee
Makes the world go around,
The world go around,
The world go around
Nothing is a more sweeter sound
But the spoon makes a clinking sound
When in the coffee cup
Swirling around

“Coffee – the finest organic suspension ever devised. It’s got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it”Captain Kathryn Janeway
The Four Options Of Coffee
1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak
How to recognize bad coffee:
1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.
You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:
1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.
Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!

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