Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)
“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting on the Curve
As I am
Sitting on the curve
And watching
The cars swerve
It’s getting difficult
To keep my nerve

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)
“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting with lots of Stuff
It’s meal time
But, the table
Is not fine
Lots of stuff
Laying about
With a huff
Giving a shout
“Oi, you!
Get here
Ass in tow
Clear your grime!”
“Didn’t you hear the chime?
It’s nearly din din time,
And, my patience
Is running low
And, as far as I know
These ‘antiques’
Are just for show”
“So,
Unless you got
Something eatable
In that pot
Off with the lot
I have to put
Some grub
On the table!”
“Shut up,
Sit down
And enjoy
Your meal!”

Mr Diesel’s Adventures for Caturday
“Hounds follow those who feed them.”

The Look
He’s got the look
And all it took
Was a cute little
Brown-eyed crook
To look up
From you book
And get you hooked

Born with Teeth
I am a carnivore
But you may me adore
As I lay on the floor
So very close to the door
So better go to the store
And get me some more
Meat
Before I get bored

“A short story is something that you can hold in your mind. You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine” Chuck Palahniuk
Could it be?
Could it be?
Can you see?
Is it true?
Who knew!
So what if it is
This wasn’t a quiz
It’s no one’s biz
If we go to the Ritz
Never mind
I’ll be fine
I got a dime
Let it chime
Out on the street
Dancing to the beat
Life oh so sweet
Oh what a treat
The lesson learnt
Don’t get burnt
Even if you weren’t
Dance ’till you aren’t

The White Cat in a Hat
The little white cat
With a black hat
Was taking a nap
On the kitchen mat
Her tail all curled
As she softly purred
Oblivious to the world
As it around her whirled
Something made her stir
Looking up with a stare
Straight up stood her fur
As she took off in a blur
The hat off tore
Landed on the floor
The cat was out the door
Heard was a loud roar

Shortest of Tales 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.
This week, the archives have brought forth the shortest of tales, and really odd ones at that! Enjoy!

Once there was a Man
Once there was a man
Who did not understand
That the greatest of plans
Was already in his hands
So he went around town
Looking for his crown
His face in a big frown
Feelings of letting down
But when he saw a beggar
With the biggest smile ever
He suddenly turned around
And his smile finally found

For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen some very wise words by Anne Frank:
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world.”

Mundane Monday
“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles.” Deborah Norville
Abandoned on Monday
“No buses today”
“Why?”
“Because, it’s Monday”
“So, I am just supposed to stay?”
“Well, you stay and play,
Or call for a taxi
And a higher fee pay!”
“What if I simply pray?”
“No use,
The buses won’t come today”
“Why?”
“Because, it’s Monday!”
