“We’re horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We’re the ninjas of the mundane, you might say” Andy Partridge
Hard Times
“Hard Times”
The wall stated
“Living on dimes!”
Sighing frustrated
Sign of the times?
Only cheap wines
Walking the thin line
Avoiding the mines
Remembering,
The good old times
And as long as this rhymes
I will be feeling just fine

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years”
Frank Lampard
Office Home and Away
A seat in the sun
Office life, filled with fun
But wouldn’t you rather
Dig around and discover
What secrets are hidden
Even though it may be forbidden
At least during office hours?

Caturday presents the honorary cat Mr Diesel and his adventures
Mr Diesel’s Adventures for Caturday
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”
—Roger Caras
Paging Mr Diesel
Maybe I’m a frog
Or just a regular dog
Maybe,
There is a little cat in me too
So without further ado
Put on your dentures
Follow my adventures
And you’ll find out
What I really do?
Call me Mr Diesel,
And hear me roar!

“I understand what’s it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something” Don Cheadle
Have A Gorgeously Fabulous Friday!
Leaving the working week far behind
I really have no idea how I ever survived
Fabulous Friday knocking at the door
Awaiting to carry me to a different shore
A glittering sequin dress, a pair of high heels
This is as good as it gets and feels
Leave your sad face and the bad place
Awaited Fabulous Friday is finally here
Prancing, dancing
Singing, winning
There is no stopping us
Well, not at least until the bus
Has arrived to take us home

“There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles” ~Author Unknown
Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is!
You may be iconic
But also diabolic
It’s quite symbolic
To call me a ‘holic
But still I frolic
When I get glycogenic
Pining for your taste
Of the full flavour laced
With truffles
My mouth muffled
When I eat
My favourite treat
My life in dire straits
Would be
Without the traits
You offer me
Oh sweet Chocolate
Thee

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller
Athens, Acropolis
Basking in the sun
Athens, Acropolis
A place of fun
A place of knowledge
Climbing up the mountain
Looking for the fountain
Of wisdom and history
Shrouded in mystery
Walking in the footsteps
Of the ancient Greeks
But, watch your steps
On the narrow streets
Once reaching the top
The effort but one hop
The view of awe and beauty
You know it really was your duty

“As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible,
but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. Much more fun too!”
Bill Murray

“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbor
Simply Blue
Simple, with blue
Some red in the view
A blurry object
Nothing too perfect
Just something caught in a frame
And for that, you have me to blame

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years”
Frank Lampard
Office Home and Away
A home office seat
Far a way from the heat
A quaint little corner
Filled with four borders
A room filled with order
No place for the explorer
But hard work
By the wage earner

“Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life” Alejandro Jodorowsky
Caturday
The tourist of a foreign land
Came here to our strand
We let them snap some photos
And for them, strike a few poses
Scratching our backs
There is no lack
Of many a treats
Neatly we sit
Until all the pix
Are snapped
And the strangers all gone
Then we, just run along
