World Wide Wednesday in Brazil

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new” Jules Verne

On the River Negro

On a slow boat
Down the moat…

(The needle on the record hops with a screeching sound)
“Sorry, wrong track!”

On a slow little ship
Down the River Negro we slide
It’s just a short trip
Into the beyond and open wild

Fishes and dolphins
Jump up from the waters
The mermaids a calling
So lock up your fathers
No place for golfing
Only a trek for the trotters

On a slow little ship
Down the River Negro we slide
It’s just a short trip
Into the beyond and open wild

Storms in the Horizon

Looks like a storm is rising
With heavy hanging clouds in the horizon
“No worries, it’s just rain, not poison”
She said with an evil smile, quite surprising

Cloudy Skies

Cloudy skies with a chance of… meatballs?
Nope not here, just a little warm rain fall
So outside your respective derrières haul
And plays some Brazilian football…
It’s soccer, you sucker!

Day Break

The day is breaking
The world is waking
Window view, breathtaking
I can feel my whole body shaking
Now in the making
A few memories creating

Welcome to Manaus, Brazil

In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
A glimpse of the dolphins
Can raise the endorphins

Red, Red Roses for Daily Photo

“If you want to say it with flowers, a single rose says: ‘I’m cheap!’ Delta Burke

Close Up 

“I am ready for my close-up, Ms Photographer Lady!”

No clicks of the shutter can be heard

“Hey lady! Over here! See, pretty as hell!”

Still nothing

“Hey miss-wannabe-photo-snapper, I am standing here, waiting… My time is not cheap you know!”

And yet no luck…

“OK, so now I am really getting pissed: Get your big butt over here and snap some pix, PRONTO!”

The pix-snapper finally reacts: “OK, OK, don’t get your knickers in a twist: I was just polishing my lens…”
“Gee, what a diva…”

“Snap, snap, snap… a presto!”

Solo 

Flying solo
When ever the wind blows
And not even snow
Will make me loose my glow….

…Unless I have to stop and my nose blow!

One Among Many 

Listen carefully
You might hear the soft whispers
Of the pretty rose sisters
Sitting in the vase neatly…

“Don’t push me!”

“Ouch, that really hurt!”

“You know, your thorns are really sharp!”

“Me, me, me, I want to be first!”

Apples

Lay all your apples in one basket
That’s a cliche most classic
But this doesn’t have to be their casket
After all, they were made of plastic

Roses

Roses are red, violets are blue
Roses made from cardboard
May be really hard to chew
