Trying to show off his cooking skill
But the flames were too high
Twas trying to reach the sky
But smoky knocked his grill down the hill...

My Fantasy HolidayMy Fantasy Holiday
Another grey and dismal day so damp
To work I trudge along the streets of old
Through puddles ankle deep I grisly tramp
All muffled up, clothed to fight the cold
Each day I pass the poster on the wall
Inviting me to far off tropic isle
A place I’ve never been so can’t recall
But I imagine and within...

feeling free and delightful in the gentle breeze
smiling at the first sight of the cool clear water
the whole of my soul is free and i cherish the vibe of it all
totally relaxed, eyes closed, massaged by rare rhythms
the cardinal is expresses her appreciation of the beautiful day in her elegant...

A Nightmare Before ChristmasA Nightmare Before Christmas
What an awesome movie.
Beyond creativity.
Released in 1993.
Animated movie 100 times.
Is it a Hallween movie?
Is it a Christmas movie?
You decide.
It could be both dark and light.
So many characters.
A really cool plot about him and her.
In between the lines.

The Haunted SpiritIt whispers low on midnight’s breath,
A shadow wreathed in mist and death.
Not born of grace, but spectral might,
It haunts the veil 'tween dark and light.
It stirs the winds, it bends the flame,
A nameless force none dare to name.
Through hollow halls, its echoes creep,...

Ah the joys of sunrise
awakened from sleeping
in car on a carefree
surfing safari trip
up north, with just me and
my board transfixed in bliss...

Possibilities bloom before my very eyes

Imagine her delight when on Mother’s Day

May DayI have awaken to some days filled with misery.
And there are other days clouded with mystery.
And there are some yesterdays that are neither
good nor bad but are simply a vision of history.
May Day for me has always cast a fond memory,
except the day in May when my father passed away.
My father died in that month...

Summer holidayThe summer holidays are here!
Time to relax and unwind.
Let's head for the beach,
build sandcastles, ride on donkeys
and paddle in the sea.
The golden sun is shining -
No clouds are in sight.
We apply coconut scented lotion
then lay on beach towels
taking care not to burn!
We unpack our picnic hamper
onto a huge tartan rug.
There’s lots of delicious treats
food...

In Your Easter BonnetShe, in her Easter bonnet
Standing beneath the shade,
Alongside gentlemen in top hats
To view an Easter parade
Church bells ring distantly
Showy, white lilies sway,
Waving to sweet daffodils
On this springtime holiday
Baskets with chocolate rabbits
Jelly beans and colored eggs,
Are carried by happy children
Running by on pudgy legs
A whirl of pastel colors
Meant to delight the eye,
Like...

Get a rabbi to extend Passover one more week
You’ll love what will have been wrought

The lake on EasterIts water seems to have frozen
Making the lake standstill as stone
With translucent and rather peace
While shores undulating the houses
Together, are the carved sculptures
With full of silent and full of tender
For wind shaking the trees to visit
The circumstances mysteriously made
By no man walking on the streets
Should a weekend start...
