Homage to Tony Denison AKA Lt. Andy Flynn

“You wanna meet our newest contender for asshole of the year?” Lt. Andy Flynn

Homage to Tony Denison, Happy Birthday!

Smashing and dashing
Handsome and outstanding
Utterly fantastic
Sometimes sarcastic
But that is just fantastic
Good guy, bad guy
Always hitting the bulls eye
Whether in a suit and tie
Or just plain clothes
The attitude shows
Actor, humanitarian
Quite the veteran
Of stage, film and TV
And what we want to see

Now it is time
To end this rhyme
Do what I started
With wishes full hearted:
Many happy returns!

Blue Eyes is back

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to Dame Angela Lansbury

“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury

Blue Eyes is back

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

Murder She Wrote

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to Jessica Fletcher

“Who Killed J.B. Fletcher?”

Murder She Wrote

The former school marm
With lots of charm
A writer of mystery
A worthy opponent of Christie
Is she just, having some fun
Or hitting a homerun
Being quite the detective
With a mind most selective
Solving crimes most foul
Not throwing in the towel
Until justice is served
To those whom deserved
Be that in the town in Main
Or on an excursion to Spain
She will always win
Before the episode comes to a fin

Homage to Nichelle Nichols

Posted on September 15, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to Nichelle Nichols, soon to be orbiting around Earth

“All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world” NICHELLE NICHOLS

Homage to Nichelle Nichols

From science fiction
To science fact
From Lady Actress
To Lady Astronaut

A many of myths
You have broken
A multitude of gifts
And truly outspoken

An eternal beauty
With a sense of duty
A voice like an angel
With an attitude of the devil 😉

Uhura, Nichelle
We’re so very glad
Onto our screens you fell
Without you we’d be sad

Be careful out there
In the stratosphere!

Homage to Walter Koenig: Happy Birthday!

“I’m always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play” Walter Koenig

Homage to Walter Koenig, Live Long and Prosper!

“It was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad”
“We are looking for the Nuclear Wessels in Alameda”
Actor, writer
Director, teacher

Chekov on Star Trek
Who could forget
That boyish charm
And an accent of Russian
Done with such passion
Taking us by storm

Bester on Babylon 5
A character done with style
Telepath and an antagonist
Quite the opportunist
Stirring up the soup
Better watch out for a coup

Whether on film or stage
Even fan productions made
You always deliver
Like a true winner
Leaving us in awe
And wanting for more

Jopo bicycle, celebrating 50 years 11.09.2015

Posted on September 11, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to the one and only Bicycle: Jopo

“Finnish made, Finnish played, Finnish trade”

Jopo bicycle, celebrating 50 years 11.09.2015

In nineteen sixty five
It was made to drive
Vintage like myself
From the top shelf
It may be simple
But a smile with a dimple
When riding this bike
Which everyone likes

An homage to Queen Elizabeth II

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Gun Roswell

“I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust” Queen Elizabeth II

An homage to Queen Elizabeth II

Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty three years
– Surely worth some cheers

You’re part of the folk
Even cracked a few jokes
You got street smarts
And certainly won our hearts

Pink, purple or blue
To name but a few
The colours like your spirit
Would inspire many lyrics

Wishes for
Many more
Years of reign
Hear our hail:

Long Live the Queen!

Star Trek TOS, Happy Forty Nine Years!

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to Star Trek, the original series

“Live Long and Prosper”

Star Trek TOS, Happy Forty Nine Years!

Call it campy or even quirky
Call it the wagon train in space
All the familiar cardboard sets
And the best written scripts
Sci-fi, entertainment and humanity
All at their very best in the same place
This is the most a TV show gets
Don’t tell me, you are not gripped

Watching re-runs
With your best chums
What could be more fun
Maybe sitting out in the sun?

But, we are Trekkers
Nerds, geeks and well, trekkers
Looking up to the stars
Daring to go very far
Well, at least, in our imagination
During the syndication
With our favourite television show
To which much we owe

Live Long and Prosper Star Trek!

Caturday, Ode to Freakish Felines

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to Felines everywhere

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Caturday, Ode to Freakish Felines

Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall
Hypnotized
By those wide eyes
The limber steps
Command respect
You can never own them
Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles
