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

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to chocolate in honour of National Chocolate Day, 2015-10-28

“October 28
If you’re a chocoholic, then you have two more chocolate days to celebrate! World Chocolate Day is on September 4 and National Chocolate Day is on October 28. Today, take the time to enjoy one of the most popular desserts in the world.”

“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

An homage to Hillary Rodham Clinton; Many happy returns!

“I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas” Hillary Clinton

Homage to HRC, Happy 68th Birthday!

Having the community’s best at heart
Showing off as smart
Making sure no one left behind
Is nothing but kind

Women’s rights
Gay rights
Equal rights
Everyone’s rights

You may have made a few snafus
But then again, we all do
Still,
I would vote for you

A Woman’s place is on the bridge
Not serving milk from the fridge

Madame President
No better resident
for the White House

“Sure it’s a big job
but I don’t know anyone who can do it better”

Homage to Sir Derek Jacobi

An homage to the one and only Sir Derek Jacobi, Many Happy Returns!

“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

Homage to 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

An homage to the absolutely hilarious TV comedy; Absolutely Fabulous,
starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley

Absolutely Fabulous

Absolutely fabulous laughs
Absolutely fabulous cast
Absolutely fabulous show
I watched it several times or more
So, I really should know!

From a fan’s point of view
Of us, there are quite a few!
And we all are
Utterly sensational
Positively radiant
Happily glorious
And Abso-freaking-lutely
Fabulous too

Back to the Future

Posted on October 21, 2015 by Gun Roswell

In honour of the epic movie trilogy, Back to the Future and Back to the Future 2015 Day

“There’s that word again: ‘heavy.’ Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?” Doc Emmett Brown

Back to the Future

I was sitting in my time machine
Whistling this happy tune
Must have been quite a scene
With the bells, whistles and fumes

Setting the date into the dialer
The flux capacitor pulsating
Waiting patiently, I am the driver
Feeling the seat vibrating

The dashboard flashing
Soon I will be dashing
Through time and space
Into another time and place

Travelling in my vehicle
The outside cold as icicles
With the speed of light
In a tunnel quite bright

My destination dead ahead
The tunnel soon to shed
Feelings of anticipation
Of what destiny awaits me
In the next station

Monday with(out) Coffee (Extra)ordinary

Posted on October 20, 2015 by Gun Roswell

October: Month of wellingtons and mackintoshes
Photography and Poetry
And, yet another homage to Coffee ;P

+ PHOTO CHALLENGE: (Extra)ordinary

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “(Extra)ordinary.”

“I can’t imagine a day without coffee. I can’t imagine!” Howard Schultz

Monday with(out) Coffee

What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy

It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate

Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break

In honour of Caturday, for all cats everywhere

“The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat” Jules Renard

Caturday, 2015-10-17

I am a tiger cat
Hear me roar!

My furry stripes
I am wearing proud
Sometimes picking a fight
‘Cause I like being loud

But when groomed and fed
And safely resting in bed
I am a cute little kitty
Without any hissy fitty

I am a soft kitty
Hear me purr

Throwback Thursday: Gun Roswell

“Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child’s eye – it is very beautiful” Kailash Satyarthi

Throwback Thursday: Gun Roswell

The year was nineteen sixty eight
Life still at stage wait
I must have been no more
Than three years of age

Little Red Riding Hood
Yes, I knew I could
In the borrowed red elf’s hat
Cutest thing you ever saw
Prettiest princess of them all
How could I ever top that!

Now, forty seven years later
Oh life, you’re such a traitor!
I still love red of course
Now I wear it with horns
In the mighty stiletto heels
Life is as good as it feels

In memory of my dear departed brother Jan-Erik
