Keeping my Eye on You
I am watching
I am listening
For any move
You might make
I will not hesitate
Ready
Steady
I will prove
To be quicker
Than a tsunami
When I pounce
Like a hound
“Gimme a treat, already,
Mommy!”

Mr Diesel’s Adventures for Caturday
Time for a singalong
“Me, me, me, me-ee
La-la-la-la-aa”
“Pat, pat, pat your dog
Gently down its back
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
This is a moment for Kodak”

Sisters, Sisters lyrics by Irving Berlin
“Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters,
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir,
I’m there to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain and sun”
Happy 35th Birthday Little Sis’!
My two little sisters
Twins, they say with a whisper
Two of a kind they ain’t
The other likes to shop
The other likes to paint
The other holds a job
The other would rather faint
My little sisters
They sometimes give me blisters
But here is the twister
I am still the lucky winner
With my two dear sisters
Many happy returns Johanna and Miranda aka Amanda & Bertta!

Day Two: “Street” — Establishing Shot
* Today, let’s focus on a street. It can be a quiet road blanketed in snow, an alley covered with murals, or a busy avenue where pedestrians weave between cars and motorbikes.
On the Streets of Helsinki
“I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive” Carrie Fisher
Street Zombies
Roaming wild
Woman, man and child
“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”
There is no stopping
The street zombies
They’re not looking for bodies
But all new produce
“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”

“I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive” Carrie Fisher
A Symphony for the Street
A welcome distraction
And a new attraction
A mini orchestra
Playing, a familiar formula
Street dwellers stopping
To familiar tunes start bopping
An overnight sensation
Across this tiny nation
Or at least
The street of Alexander’s!

Ride Your Bike
Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently down the street
But watch out for the spikes
Or you will end up on your feet

“When in Rhyme do as the Rhymers do” Gun Roswell
The Gun Rap
My name is Gun
I am a lot of fun
Some call me ‘Nilla
I am here to chilla
Here are some facts
Seven to be exact
Guess that is the most
You’ll find about this host
I am a wannabe writer
And maybe a little brighter
Than you might think
While you let that sink
I will continue my rant
In the form of this chant
Even though I really can’t
Sing, dance or ant?
“What? Ant? That is not a verb!”
“I was trying to rhyme -erb”
“If you can’t rhyme, stay out of the kitchen”
“Why are you so bitchen?”
“Enough with the rhyme!”
“Fine! Now gimme a dime and lets get back to the rap!”
The three letters
Best defining my efforts
Photography, Poetry
And P…
“Oops, can’t say that out loud on television <smirks>!”
“We’re not on television! This is a written blog you dumbass!”
“Hey, you said ass! That is mighty sass of you!”
“Argh! I give up!”
“Great, now back to the rap!”
Well, the last of the three
Is for me to know and for thee
To find out
Oh, do not pout!
I am a non-smoker
And I like to play poker
No just kidding
Seemed more fitting
Now to end this rap
I had to fill the gap
And already told you more
Than I intended for
Word!

“You Don’t Need A Big One To Be Happy!”
Mini Cooper
Baby I can drive my car?
Guess I will be going far?
I’m not going to be a star
But I like playing a guitar
Oh and driving my car,
My Mini Cooper car!
Beep, beep, beep – Yeah!

“Who am I that I have to sing under an umbrella? These people are my fans, and if they can stand in the rain to hear me sing, I can stand in the rain” Bobby Darin
Umbrella
Step under my umbrella
We can sing in a cappella
Like we were the Ella
Just out of hella
Lady or a fella
Let’s create a novella
You can play the Stella
Prance around like a gazella
Maybe invite the Cinderella
Even if she is vanilla
There is no dilemma
Here what I tell ‘Ya
It’s quite the Rockwell’a
So step under my umbrella
Just out of the hella
