“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise

“I must go in. The fog is rising”
Emily Dickinson
Night on the Bench
Surrounded by misty air
Missed the last fare
Sitting on the park bench
Wishing I had worn a trench
The eerie surroundings
Leaving my heart pounding
Not a soul in sight
On this mystical night
Wrapping my coat tighter
My mood getting lighter
I hear some noises
A car approaches
Finally, I have a ride!

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx
Black Cat
When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat
The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat
After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual
This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail

“Don’t walk under any ladders,
Don’t break any mirrors,
Don’t spill any salt,
And don’t walk by any black cats.
Happy Friday the 13th!”
Friday the 13th
Lock the doors
And shut the windows,
Close the curtains
Because who knows,
What uninvited
Behind them lurks!
Switch off all the lights
Under your beds go hide
Better fright than flight
Just because today,
Is Friday night
Of the 13th kind!

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.”
– Susan Sontag
Around the World in Black and White
Sailing the gorgeous lakes in Italy
Watching the clouds filling the sky to affinity…
…Sightseeing, travelling or shopping
There is no time for stopping
Around the wide wide world
Me and my camera are hurled

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.”

Around the World in Black and White
While roaming the ancient ruins for Greece
Breathe and let the moment freeze…

There is no time for stopping
Around the wide wide world

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin;
what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein
A Seat fit for a Queen
A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

“In nine lifetimes,
you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you”
Michel de Montaigne
Caturday
I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!
Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife
Rantings Of A Third Kind
