“Sometimes I’m so sweet even I can’t stand it.”
Julie Andrews

Happy Birthday Dame Julie Andrews!

The hills are alive
With the sound of Julie
Moving along with a jive
An ageless beauty

Victor Victoria and The Sound of Music
With Mary Poppins adds to pure magic
Theatre, movies, musicals and records
Hitting the set of perfect chords
A truly multitalented performer
With a knack of being a transformer

Damehood received
Fans very pleased
Our Dame Julie
We love you truly

 

Happy with my kitty for Caturday

For Caturday

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

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

My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer

Have a Fabulous Friday!

Posted in Fabulous Friday

“I understand what’s it like to work all week
and on Friday night just want to go
and leave your brain at the door,
buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something”
Don Cheadle

Have a Fabulous Friday!

Leaving the working week far behind
I really have no idea how I ever survived
Fabulous Friday knocking at the door
Awaiting to carry me to a different shore

A glittering sequin dress, a pair of high heels
This is as good as it gets and feels
Leave your sad face and the bad place
Awaited Fabulous Friday is finally here

Prancing, dancing
Singing, winning
There is no stopping us
Well, not at least until the bus
Has arrived to take us home

London in Black and White for World Wide Wednesday I two

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“There’s nowhere else like London.
Nothing at all, anywhere”
Vivienne Westwood

London in Black and White

…Hop on a bus
Without much fuss
Follow the lines
And you’ll be fine
Eyes wide open
Seeing more than hoping
In the evening
You are dreaming
Of how much more
The next day has in store

London in Black and White

Over the rooftops
To the hustle and bustle
Of the streets of London
In just a few hops
A few old castles
And a famous dungeon…

Heavy Metal for Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous”
Bill Moyers

Heavy Metal

Up the stairs
Down the stairs
clicking and clacking of heals
On the heavy metal seals
If you’re running fast
The echoes will last
All the way up
Or way down

Mini Seat for Seat Sunday

Posted in Seat Sunday

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte

Mini Seat 

A mini seat
Is quite neat
But,
It won’t carry
A large fleet

Black Cat for Caturday

Posted in Caturday

“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
