Cats, Dogs and Ladies (Caturday 2015-03-05)

Cats, dogs and ladies
All live under the same roof
A gentle mix of meows and woofs
Added with some ifs, buts and maybes

caturday-3    caturday-4

A playful sparring match
For the appetite to catch
Before dinner time calls
And they arrive on all fours

caturday-2

What we can all agree upon
Is a comfortable seat to cuddle on
All gathering into the same spot
All together tight as a knot

before storm 1

“Clouds suit my mood just fine” Marie Lu, Champion

Three

Dark clouds low in the sky
Painted with the greyest of die
It is calm in the storm’s eye

Birds into their nests quickly fly
Nothing moves, not even a butterfly
Before the rain pours down from the sky

Scenic view included
The brochure exuded
In an area quite secluded

Selection undisputed
Coordinates in computed
Soon, nothing but solitude

One

On the way to Peru
Or possibly Katmandu
Onto a side track we flew

Soon enough, in a locale new
With a cloudy blue hue
And a gorgeous mountain view

Friday Coffee

Friday Coffee

One cup of coffee, black
Laced, with a little bit of cognac
Will cure the worst insomniac

Second cup of coffee, black
With a sugary doughnut stacked
Watch out for that heart attack!

The third cup of coffee, black
Now you are on the inside track
From this point on, there is no turning back

The fourth and more cup of coffee, all black
You watched the mirrors crack
As you passed them by with a high heels clack

A few more cups of coffee later, all black
Sitting in a comfy chair, laid back
Fast speed story telling, to your favourite quack
Happy Friday to One and All!

“Work, really? Again? Didn’t I just do that yesterday?

Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-03-01

Work, what can I say? Can’t live with it, can’t live with it 😉

Getting into a right frame of mind at work, especially when the cups are overflowing every which way and the better part of the day spent either firefighting or tilting against windmills. The one thing you need to remember, well several things actually, but if you are working in a “desk job” as a payed employee, it’s just work and five o’clock will arrive at some point of the day!

Therefore, while getting into that good place in my mind before ending up in a straight jacket, I decided to look into the humorous side of the working life 😛 After all, if a laugh a day keeps the good doctor away, maybe a few more will save the rest of the week!
Here are a few gems I found in order of appearance:

“I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours” Jerome K. Jerome

love-work

“Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else” Barbara Ehrenreich

against-work

“When a man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him whose?” Don Marquis

Winter 11

“Now is the winter of our discontent” Richard III, William Shakespeare

Nightfall

Soft white lights
In the middle of the night
All have taken flight
From the silent street
Not even a tweet
From the lonely parakeet

After all,
It’s no ball
In the middle of
Winter

Winter 10

“Now is the winter of our discontent” Richard III, William Shakespeare

Red

What a blast
The contrast
Not unabashed
As it flashed
Its red colour
All over

Winter 5

“Now is the winter of our discontent” Richard III, William Shakespeare

Blurred Bines

With a snow cover
On the top they hover
Not quite the clover
Still always on the upper
They say it’s a hopper

They call them the blurred bines
Yeah yeah yeah!

Winter 7

“Now is the winter of our discontent” Richard III, William Shakespeare

Bending not breaking

Swaying back and forth
Somewhere up north
In a forsaken part of earth
Where mother nature gave them birth
