“Shiver me timbers
For I am getting sober
Pass another bottle
And we’ll go full throttle!”

“Aargh!
Pirates we’ll be
Nothing will stop us you see!
We are tough and loud
Even Mom would be proud
Our daily fishing now is done
It’s time to drink, dance and have some fun!”

Nostalgia
Ah, Nostalgia
That sense of euphoria
Would even impress Gloria
When you are remembering
The “good old days”…

“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?

For National Coffee Day
“Coffee – the finest organic suspension ever devised. It’s got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it”Captain Kathryn Janeway
The Four Options Of Coffee
1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak
How to recognize bad coffee:
1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.
You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:
1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.
Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!

Autumn Leaves for Daily Photo
“Fall is here, fall is here!”
The little girl shouted happily as she ran across the fallen colourful leaves.

Time for Dessert (and Ice Coffee)!
Coffee, with ice, and then some!
Need I say more?
Just keep beating the drum:
Coffee, coffee, coffee
What else in life do you need?
Drink coffee and you shall exceed!
Really?
Yup!

Feta Salads and Something Spicy
After a lengthy shopping spree, time to give the tummy some fuel. What better food for thought, or to eat at lunch, brunch, dinner… Well basically during any type of meal: A plate filled with veggies, fruit and feta cheese. That full plate would scare even my niece!
Meanwhile, admiring the local fruit artist at work, when carving masterpieces into the melons (fresh from the near by farms by the by!). Next step, some decorated lemons!
But, after all this sweet stuff, maybe it’s time for a little puff, and puff you will, huff too, after tasting the spiciest of peppers! Maybe afterwards, a game of checkers?

Dolls and Carpeting!
“Deck the halls with Dolls a hanging,
Fa la la la la la la la!”
All kinds of oddities, amongst these commodities. But what scared me the most,
was not the ghost, of Christmas past, but the barbie like dollies, hanging with faces filled with the jollies!
As the initial shock subsided, I decided, it was time, for some unique furniture. And what better,
than a chair filled with carpets! Who ever thought of that, must have been the smartest!

Sponge Bob’s Cousin and a few Hats
When browsing the market, trying to figure out what to get, for friends and family, to find that sure bet. So, who did we run into, but Sponge Bob’s cousins! And best of it all, you could get them on a dime a dozen! What a big family!
When in Rome, or in this case Kos, try on a trendy hat. Center of the attention you’ll soon be, in good or bad that may be, when people on the street will shout “Won’t you look at that!” But never you mind, just be kind, smile and do a little routine, like Gene.
