“Good things come in small sizes”

Ode to My Little Car

It was a tiny little thing
Not the prettiest of the lot
The name had a soft ring
Almost like a plot

Fiesta…
Siesta…

Round and round in paces
Could see the look on others faces
‘Surely that is not the car to buy’
‘To her money she would kiss goodbye’

Trying it on for size I did
Smiling like a little kid
Spite what others may have though
This car was surely bought

It wasn’t quite what expected
Less is not more, had to respect it

Tempted by a car with muscle
The salesman tried to hustle
Something made me turn to look
The little car had gotten me hooked

Back and forth I went
Trying not to get bent
It was calling me I could hear
Trying hard not to get near

But
Fear not
Reason won in the end

After all
The muscle car was too tall
And lets face it
I got hitched

The tiny car was kin
All is well in the end

Lesson learned: Think big, buy small!

“The best seat in the house”

Snowy Seat Sunday

It may be cold outside
With lots of frosted snow
But as the sun comes from its hide
You need to take it slow
Take a seat for a while
Even if it’s not your style
And simply enjoy with a smile…

But, thank goodness: It’s almost summer now!

Spring is finally here (Weekly Photo Breakdown) 

Down by the Pier

At the end of a really long pier
There is a price in the form of a beer

What?

Well, it’s warm and the sun is shining
What could be more defining
Of spring?

The same goes for motorbikes?

Bikes, a sure sign of spring
What of ones with a motor
Do they also make a ding?

Bikes, a sure sign of spring

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently down the lane
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Watch out for the spikes!

Island Life

An island
In the middle of the city
This is truly the fine land
Life worth a giddy

Dandelion

By the road side
Between the rocks
Spreading its leaves wide
Hoping for a few rain drops
Just one flower now
Soon another one pops
If you wonder how
Well, there is a secret box…

Spring leaves

Spring has sprout
Time to break out
The old ukulele
And sing a song gaily
It may be a little early
Even for the birdy
What the hey!
It’s already May!

Buds of Spring

Little tree babies
Popping up daily
They look a little frail
Not too heavy on the scale
Certainly no size of a whale
But they won’t fail
And soon into leaves set sail
