Happy Cats
Soft kitty, warm kitty
Purring on my lap
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty
Why don’t I too take a nap…

Happy Cats (three)

“Time spent with cats
is never wasted”
Sigmund Freud
Happy Cats
My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer

Sigmund Freud
Happy Cats
Happy with my kitty
So I wrote this little ditty
Why don’t you sing along
To the tune of this familiar song…

Swan (three)

“The swan, like the soul of the poet,
By the dull world is ill understood”
Heinrich Heine
Swan
The black swan
Swimming at dawn
Her dark shadow
Contrast to snow

“The swan, like the soul of the poet,
By the dull world is ill understood”
Heinrich Heine
Swan
Beauties in flight
Whitest of knights
From the blue skies
Watch them dive

Swan
Majestic and regal
Equal to an eagle
A bird of the royals
Worthy of the nobles

“Live long and prosper”
– Spock AKA Leonard Nimoy
Remembering Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
“It’s only a television show”
– Maybe so, but it got me through the best of times and surely through the worst of times
“Vulcan honours us with your presence. We come to serve”
– Mr Spock had me at hello
“Never meet your heroes”
– Maybe true, but this particular hero I will regret not meeting for the rest of my life
“These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.”
– And I will keep watching until such time they put me out to pasture.
Coffee.

“Coffee, because I can count the number of slept hours on one hand”
Coffee.
Coffee.
Why?
Because I barely slept last night.
Coffee.
Why?
Simply to get through this day.
Coffee.
Why?
Because I need some inspiration for my working day, every day.
Coffee.
Why?
Because I need the will power to exercise today and every other day.
Coffee.
Why?
It is the best creation humanity has ever devised.
Coffee.
Why?
I may not always agree with the taste of it. Then again, there is no such thing as bad coffee!
Coffee.
Why?
Because I had to write this damned tale about it!
Me and My Shadow for Valentine’s Day
Posted in Celebration
“Just remember if we get caught, you’re deaf and I don’t speak English”
Me and My Shadow
It was nineteen eighty-five
When I hitched a ride
Ever since that time
We have been tied
Like sugar and spice
Abbott and Costello
And what have you
I am still quite amazed
And feeling totally graced
That someone would stare at my face
For thirty odd years straight
So thanks for all this time, sweetheart
Lets try to make it to the next part
And add another thirty to the cart
After all the most important thing
Which makes you want to sing
It’s good to have that one person
Who will support you without a reason
No matter how serious
Or delirious
Life gets
I will bet
You will still be the one
Who I can rely on
To go absolutely
And completely
Bonkers with
Ain’t that a hit!
Still Reigning: Queen Elizabeth II

“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
Still Reigning: Queen Elizabeth II
Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty five 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!
