Anecdote Time!

“As we grow older, our bodies get shorter and our anecdotes longer” Robert Quillen

Anecdote Time!

Never judge a book by its cover. A paperback can be just as entertaining as hardcover.

If you want to dwell in the past, buy yourself a time machine.

You have to learn how to walk before you can run. I found out that the hard way after my hip-surgery.

Looking into a mirror is like… Well, you obviously need to take a selfie!

Time, time, precious time, where have you gone? Don’t tell me, you lost your watch again?

In my youth, the grass was always greener, food tasted better and life was much happier… Then we woke up and put the dog out to pee.

Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes… Be damned sure they are the same size as your own ones!

Today, I woke up, the day was stormy, the skies were gray, my mind felt dull... Well, you can’t always expect to be in the tropics, now can you Dearie?

Don’t do as I do, do as I say! Apparently, you can get away with murder?

People who are smart, beautiful and talented… Really piss me off!

Reflections, One

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection”
Winston Churchill

Reflections

Reflections on the walls
Reflections on the windows
The sunsets and sunrises
Reflected on each surface

Magic

“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic;
it takes sweat, determination and hard work”
Colin Powell

Magic

Like a flick
Of the light switch
Like scratching
A really bad itch
I had started writing
Once more
Just like that
Just like magic
I found my muse
And I did it

“Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible,
it is important that we understand why it is impossible”
Stephen Hawking

Seconds

Heart beating
Time is running out
Only a few seconds left
For the ultimate request
Using a different route
Feels like cheating

Finally reaching
My own hideout
No time for rest
Only doing my best
No time for tryout
Parameter breaching

Safely in my blue box
Punching the clock
Time starts moving
Seconds removing
Going backwards
Against standards

They said
It couldn’t be done
But did I bet
And know I am gone
Back in time
Trying to find
…My future

Reflections, Two

“Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality”
Shawn Ashmore

Reflections

Through the looking glass
Reflections from present and past
Mystified images mirrored
In your mind’s eye forever

Sleepy Kitty

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“Sleepy Kitty
Happy Kitty
Purr, purr, purr”

Sleepy Kitty

Happy with my kitty
So I wrote this little ditty
Why don’t you sing along
To the tune of this familiar song

Soft kitty, warm kitty
Purring on my lap
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty
Why don’t I too take a nap

My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer

Man Made Green (seven)

Posted in the Daily Post:  It IS Easy Being Green!

“I had to live in the desert before
I could understand the full value of grass in a green ditch”
Ella Maillart

Man Made Green

Rain and green
It’s all I’ve seen
Since I was a teen
Guess,
It’s just in my genes?

“I had to live in the desert before
I could understand the full value of grass in a green ditch”
Ella Maillart

Man Made Green

Sunshine and green,
There is really nothing
In between

Enjoy it
With lots of caffeine
Afterwards
You might need some melamine

Go outside
Hop on the trampoline
You can read the magazines
In the eve

Man Made Green (five)

“I had to live in the desert before
I could understand the full value of grass in a green ditch”
Ella Maillart

Man Made Green

Raindrops on leaves of green
The prettiest I have ever seen
See through and clean
With the softness of sateen
