Throwback Thursday 2016-03-24
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.
Shall I Just Twitter Then? (TBT)
Peeping Tammy (Through the Lens) (TBT)
Let the Rantings continue!!!

“Any photographer who says he’s not a voyeur is either stupid or a liar” Helmut Newton
Peeping Tammy
Camera ready
Hands steady
Acting like the pros
Striking a pose
Click, click, click
Getting the kicks
When images saved
And getting made
Like a Peeping Tom
Creating photo bombs
Spying through the lens
Trying to make a amends
Posting views
Not only for the selected few
But no less
In the world of wireless
Enjoy!

“I worry we are spending too much time on Facebook, that we are losing our ability to connect with people on twitter”
Shall I Just Twitter Then?
“Good morning” I say when I arrive at the office. No response, from anyone.
“Good morning” My voice a little louder, but still no response.
“GOOD MORNING” I am now half shouting. I don’t believe it, no response. Everyone sitting there staring at their screens, small, medium and large.
“Fine” I say to myself, “I shall just twitter ‘Good Morning’ then!”
Suddenly, my screen filled with pings, indicating several responses to my greeting – in Twitter, that is!
Today’s social convention, how could I have forgotten!

Going Up?
Higher, faster, stronger
Can’t wait much longer
Without any doubts
Reaching for the clouds
Got to get up, up, up!
Never going to stop
Counting every minute
The sky is the limit
Then, out of the blue
Quite abruptly
Movement disrupted
Everything frozen
Feelings of brazen
Completely gone
Looking at the door
No route for escape
Standing there
Without a clue
My mouth agape
Pulling my hair
Eyes wide
Nowhere to hide
“Well, apparently the lift has stopped?”
“Sixteenth floor, going no higher?”
“No, next step is to be opted.”
“Guess we are out of the dire!”
“Yes, well, time to get off this ride!”
“Right! Please, after you!”
“Thank you! How kind.”
“No problem! Next stop into the queue!”

Mundane Monday
Monday, Monday
Where art thou Monday?
Yesterday it was Sunday
Soon the day turns to Tuesday
Did I miss Monday?
Perhaps, I thought of a different day
Simply, because the sunshine carried me away
Oh Monday, Monday
Why cannot it always be a fun day?
