“One, Single, Solo”
Gun Roswell
Solo
Flying solo,
Because, of YOLO
Because, someone told you so
Because, you reap what you sow
Is it fun though?
Going, when the wind blows
Going, with the flow
Going, where no one knows
Maybe,
Flying with someone
Could be double the fun
Hitting a that home run…
…Together

“The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.”
—Philip Roth
Who am I?
They call me odd
They call me weird
I say: “off you sod”
I still won’t stop!
Writing, writing, writing
Hard at least trying
Fighting, fighting, fighting
My daily life be damned!
I may be odd
I may be weird
Maybe some day
I will get my pay
For dreaming the impossible
Is it really that unusual?
There may be some obstacles
But in the end, there may be applause
And then
I can call myself

“I wish someone would ask me to design a cathedral”
Philip Johnson
Cathedral for Every Day
If you want to pray
Where ever you may
Or just a while to stay
In a sunny ray
Looking for a cabaree
Or an afternoon matinee
Just enter into
The Cathedral of Every Day
You don’t have to pay
Or even a dragon slay
There is no doorway
Nor any kind of role play
There is no colour grey
Only a colourful array
When you enter
The Cathedral of Every Day

“Blue is not just a colour,
It is also, a life style”
Gun Roswell
Feeling Blue
Blue, is the sky above
Blue, are the waters below
Blue, when I’m feeling alone
Blue, can be a cold hue
Blue, is a beautiful view
Blue, is the colour of my shoes
Blue, fits me like a glove
Blue, I cannot get rid of
Blue, is the colour I love

“How strange this fear of death is!
We are never frightened at a sunset”
George MacDonald
After Sunset
After, the sun has set
It is time, to place the bets
Throw in the dice
Good luck, never hits twice
Who ever, has the luck
Will not, by lighting get struck
Where ever, they may go
Good weather and fortune will follow
Well, the promise of fair weather
Some time spent for leisure
Maybe a promotion or two
If not, good luck
Trying the dice, to sue!

“There are some days when I think
I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction”
Salvador Dali
Overdose
It was just a simple overdose
A mass of a size of bordering gross
They should have just given hit me with a hose
Burning up was oh so very close…
The final diagnose:
Too much sun on a scorching day
Will not keep the nurses or doctors away

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself,
than be crowded on a velvet cushion”
Henry David Thoreau
Crowded
Two is a company
Three is huge a crowd
Four is just lucky
Five or more is very loud
Feeling crowded
Sometimes compounded
Oh for crying out loud
This really is a crowd!

“If you go anywhere,
even paradise,
you will miss your home”
Malala Yousafzai
Paradise Found
It was just covered with frost
In the end of a very long autumn
This was what it cost
To get back from the bottom
Paradise,
It was never lost
It was, just forgotten

“All right, it’s worked so far, but we’re not out yet”
Dr McCoy, Star Trek
A Code to Joy or 2017 06 27 52
Ciphered code:
2017 06 27 52
A lottery number?
You may have won!
No, not in this mode
Just fall back to slumber
Nothing too cryptic
Nothing remotely close to apocalyptic
But, a date of some importance
At least for where I take my stance
Today, turning fifty one
Feeling, like a phaser on stun
Pardon the Star Trek pun
Being La Gun, is still lots of fun
So:
Happy Birthday to me-ee!

“You can never have too many pairs of shoes!”
Gun Roswell
Shoes on the Side
Shoes, are the essence of life
(it’s like breathing in and breathing out)
Shoes, will get you through a fight
(especially if you’re wearing stilettos)
Shoes, are never unkind
(unless you are breaking in a new pair! just remember to have band aid to spare!)
Shoes, will help you unwind
(those comfy old ones, you just did not dare to throw away)
Shoes, are always on my mind
(I wear them, I buy them, I store them, I admire them…)
Shoes, will alternately save mankind
(well it could not hurt if the world leaders talked about their new shiny shoes instead of all the nasty things that are going on, could it now!)
If you don’t have any shoes
Then snooze, you loose!
