“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte
Seat in Town
When on the town
Getting all around
There is one thing
You wish you had found
A seat, to relax on!

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte
Seat in Town
When finally found
Face in an upside frown
Jumping up and down
Giving a spin in the gown

“Those who’ll play with cats must expect to be scratched.”
—Miguel de Cervantes (author, Don Quixote)
Caturday: The Girl, Dog and Cat
“Ready for our close-up,
Miss DeSolingius”
The trio shouted
As, in front of the camera
They all strutted

Caturday: The Girl, Dog and Cat
The girl happily around struts
In her new rock’n’roll haircut
“What, what, what???”
The dog could not believe that stuff
The cat had her own opinion
“It’s obvious she was influenced by the minions”

“Cats have it all – admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it” Rod McKuen
The Girl and The Cat
Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
Almost like aristocrats
“Mirror, mirror on the camera
The two of us are giving you glamoura’
Soon with us, all will enamoura’ “
The girl and the cat
Posing with a knack
Pretty pictures, are the result of that

“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and The Cat
Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat
No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat
No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set
If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

“Why is Monday so far from Friday, and Friday so near to Monday?”
Monday, Bloody Monday
Monday, bloody Monday
It is certainly not my fun day
Still five days until Friday
This could well be my die day
My calendar filled with meetings
No time for eating
Feeling like cheating
When trying to catch a break for peeing
No use in struggle or fighting
Almost worse than being struck by a lightning
Dealing with the disappointment
Because there is no ointment
Another working week has started
From my leisure time I was parted
Doing my best to survive
Just wishing to keep in the drive
Tell me, do I really hate Mondays
Or is it just the illusion of a fading Sunday?

“As long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be?”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes
Coffee, by any other name
“What’s in a name?
That which we call, coffee,
By any other name,
Would smell as sweet;”
The sweetest of aroma,
From every cafe in Roma
Bringing you to your knees,
When on a walkabout, in Paris
A cup of Java
A cup of Joe
Darker than molten lava
Just let the liquid flow!
Because,
Coffee, by any other name…
Well, it’s all coffee,
Really,
And all coffee
Is good,
Just
Drink,
Enjoy,
And be merry
And sooner than later
Have another cup
Then some more,
Maybe one more,
For the road,
To get off the load,
Take away,
Now you’re talking,
Just keep on walking
Another cafe
Is bound to
Come along!

I have chosen to a few thoughts on new beginnings and the new year in honour of the first Quote a Week Tuesday of 2017. Second one:
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”
― T.S. Eliot
