“Sweet April showers do spring May flowers”
Thomas Tusser
Day in Spring
Bike Ride in Spring
Go on a work strike
Grab the nearest bike
Take a long long hike
Spring time is here
Bet you thought it wasn’t very near
But have no fear
It’s time to cheer
And ride your bike with a leer!

Day in Spring
Spring Day
A sunny spring day
Nothing to it, just lay
In the pile of hay
Blue is the water
Be a sea otter
Dive into the sea
And be a water squatter
Today is the start of spring
It really begun on the bells’ ding
Now join the chorus and sing
“Oh sprint time
A merry time
I am feeling just fine
Now have some fun
Fun on a dime
It’s ok, it’s sprint time!”

Odd Shiny Objects
Objet D’Arts?
Or someone’s idea of smart?
Maybe a design flaw?
Without any courtesy to law?
Objects useful and pretty
Chosen by one or a committee
No matter, they look just fine, see
As the pictures are proving thee

“Every viewer is going to get a different thing.
That’s the thing about painting, photography, cinema”
David Lynch
Painted
A water colour painting?
Or an image ever fading?
The flowers once blooming
The watcher’s mind fueling
If you keep on viewing
The picture might be renewing
Something everlasting sustaining
Forever, in the frame maintaining

“No man is an island,
entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent”
John Donne
Island
On an
Deserted island
I got slammed
This is, my land
This is, where I make my stand
Here lays, my strand
If here, you try to land
Know that, you’ll be damned
By the wave, of my hand
You will be, hanged

“Better three hours too soon
than a minute too late”
William Shakespeare
Time
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Said the clock
As time was running out
Running, running,
Never, ever stopping
Have to finish… one more job
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Said the clock
As time was running out
Faking, taking
Sometimes forsaking
Just to get on top
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Said the clock
As time was running out
Sooner, than later
Realized the inside hesitater
Something had to be swapped
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Said the clock
As time was running out
Oh, never mind
Just rewind
Now, more than ever,
It is time to unwind!

“Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.”
Sunday
Sunday morning
Life, lazy and boring
Before, a new week is dawning
Pop the cork,
Let’s celebrate off work
Until early Monday morning!

“I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade…
And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party”
Ron White
Before I go
I promised myself to take it slow
So just one more drink before I go
Boy, did that line have me sold
In this oldest of stories ever told
Now before you start with your hate and scold
And all things out of proportion blow
Let my simple story before you unfold
It had been, a damned hard week
On the first day, the future looked at best bleak
I felt nauseous, I felt weak
Not knowing where to look or what to seek
Monday, Tuesday, they were slow
Wednesday, I got a little bold
Thursday hit, also the proverbial fan’s shit
Finally Friday, lucky Friday
This was ultimately my day!
Things got done
Now it was time for some fun
So before I got to go
I just yelled ‘Hello!’
What else did you expect?
No more projects
No more work
(That lousy jerk!)
Only a time to hit the road
And let the fun times start to flow
Oh, and just in case you wondered,
And called out my number:
It was just a weekender
Spent on this bender
All work and no fun
Pardon the pun
Would start all over again
When dreaded Monday begins

“Everyday life is like programming, I guess.
If you love something you can put beauty into it”
Donald Knuth
Solitary
Peaceful and silent
On this solitary island
Like a rough uncut diamond
Where blue meets blue
In the waters and skies hue
There is really not much to do
Maybe, just maybe
This is really good for you
Yes, this is my land
Here is were I stand
Just because, I can

“Everyday life is like programming, I guess.
If you love something you can put beauty into it”
Donald Knuth
Family
Please do not stop and stare
Because, this, is a family affair
We stand here
Huddled together
Like the proverbial
Bird of the same feather
Or maybe,
There is a too tight tether
Binding us like leather?
But never mind
Just be kind
Leave us to our devices
Our familiar vices
And for them
Do not us despise
For we are
Who we are
A family
Of roses
Standing here
In our poses
