Elves (TBT)

“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.”
― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

Elves

“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”

The stars in the sky shining bright
No one knows where they tread

Dressed in white
Dressed in red

The Holiday Season is upon us
The Elves are all around us

Small or tall
They’re having a ball
Singing along
The holiday’s song

“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”

Elvis has left the Konebuilding (TBT)

Posted in the Throwback Thursday

“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”

Shopping for Daily Photo

“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping”
Bo Derek

Elf off the Shelf

A Christmas elf
From the store shelf
No matter if October
And a long while until December
This hefty little thing
Joined the pumpkins
This Halloween
Have you ever seen

Shopping for Daily Photo

“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping”
Bo Derek

Scary Thing with Family

A scary little thing
Started to sing
Its little offspring
Joining with a ding

“Please ma’am
If you can
Take us home
So not alone
Will you be
On this eve
Of all hallows
If you don’t
Then what will follow
Is a scary thing”

And they continued to sing
So in my cart
Added, which was smart
And off home did I start
With the singing
Gang of pumpkins

Store Bought

A face made scary

Store bought

Do you really see me
Growing any weeds
Even for this eve
For all hallows to see

Travel in Rhodes for Throwback Thursday (Second Batch)

On Thursdays, we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

Today’s posts have been dedicated to my original Travel Log from a year ago, while visiting the beautiful island of Rhodes in Greece. This weeks theme; history, but mainly rest, relaxation and Greek salad: Enjoy!

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.”
Bill Moyers

On the Rocks for Mundane Monday

A swirl in the sky
Clouds are alive
Sunshine and blue skies
Feeling alive
But
The boat just left
Me
On these rocks
Maybe try
If I float?

“Who can say what astonishments are hidden inside the most mundane being?”
Author: Kate DiCamillo

Driving Off for Mundane Monday

On this futuristic moped
Travelling nowhere fast
Licence already revoked
But we are having a blast

Mock us
Call us
Old folk
Elephants
What ever
You want

We still rule
Just need
A little fuel

And

We are
Going, going, going,
Gone

Bye!

“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island” Walt Disney

Pirate Thursday for Throwback Thursday

On Thursdays, we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

Today’s posts have been dedicated to my original series, which I started as a challenge and then I decided to continue with the storyline. Which story you ask? Well, you may have stumbled upon it before; it’s a little tale called The Treasure Hunters. I will also be continuing this story each Sunday in a new series called “Serial Sunday Presents“.

Enjoy!

This is what has happened so far:

The Treasure Hunters: Introduction
The Treasure Hunters: Part One
The Treasure Hunters: Part Two
The Treasure Hunters: Part Three
The Treasure Hunters: Part Four
