“Oh, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We’ve already got the stars” Bette Davis
December Moon, Part Two
“Look, the moon boss, the moon!”
December moon
You came so soon
Where did you go?
We were looking for you
Already a month ago
Here you are
Shining bright
Did you go far?
Never mind,
You are always
Such a delight!

“The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to” Carl Sandburg
December Moon, Part One
Partly hidden
Behind the soft clouds
Playing chicken?
Or just a misty shroud?

The river snaking across the expanse
This may just be the promised land
Clear waters as far as the eye can see
A perfect place for the summer to flee

“December’s wintery breath is already clouding the pond, frosting the pane, obscuring summer’s memory…” John Geddes
December The First
December the first
Came with a burst
A sunrise most gorgeous
It’s almost flirtatious
Come what may
December made its way
Holiday season upon us
With sunshine in abundance

“Man, I really love Vegas” Elvis Presley
“Elvis has left the Konebuilding”
Jingle bells a-rocking
Elvis comes a-knocking
Gold lamé suit
Dancing to no ones’ flute
A real cool dude
Definitely no prude
Rocking around
The Christmas tree
To a cool sound
And and impish glee
Twist and shout
No time to pout
The jingle bells
Put their spells
Now the rest of us
Mere mortals of dust
Jamming with the king
And wholehearted sing
But oh how time flies
Now it is time to say
Our fondest good byes
Flying back to the skies
“Ladies and Gents,
Elvis, has left the (Kone)building”
Posted in A Quote a Week Tuesday
& In honour of the month of December
If it’s December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?” Howard E. Koch
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-01
This week’s Tuesday quote seemed appropriate for the occasion. After all, today is December first, and just yesterday, it was summer, oh what a bummer?
Time flies when you are having fun?
Or is it just another pun?
Hoping to see the sun
Even though it’s December one
“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss

And, yet another homage to Coffee ;P
“I can’t imagine a day without coffee. I can’t imagine!” Howard Schultz
Monday with(out) Coffee
What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy
It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate
Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break
“Come to the dark side, we have coffee”
Not without my Coffee
I freely admit it
I am addicted
To the finest organic suspension
One of the greatest inventions
Coffee
If gets me up in the morning
So read this forewarning
To save yourself from scorning
Do not get between me and my
Coffee
If you want your day
To be inventive and stay
On top of the world
Life delightfully twirled
Coffee
Take my advice
Don’t think twice
Pour yourself a cup of java
It beats the hell out of guava
Coffee
Your fellow human kind
Never looked so fine
The world filled with love
If everyone joined in a cup of
Coffee

It started with a few
Then there were two
Only remaining
A single one
Nothing to be done
The time for Winter
Has finally come
