All preparation had been completed
The big night was finally here
At three in the afternoon I went to dress rehearsal
Stood on the Gaiety stage for the first time - I didn’t have any fear!
Three lovely ladies
We were standing behind our microphones
Reciting our poems .. to an audience of ONE
Rows and rows of empty seats – tonight they would soon fill
Would nerves finally hit me, would I start to feel ill …
We had a few hours to kill before the show would start
Hubby and I went for a meal before I played my part
I dressed in my lovely frock – our act would all wear black and white
The theatre was a sell out, much to our delight
The performance kicked off at eight o’clock
Our slot was in the second half so we sat and watched the show
Joined in with the audience from spare seats on the back row
Time passed by so quickly once the show had begun
We rolled about with laughter the acts were such great fun
The interval came and we had to go
Soon the time would come for us to perform
It was freezing cold backstage I wore my cardigan to keep warm!
Our names were announced and we walked onto the stage
Lights shone down on the three of us
But the audience was a sea of faces in the dark
I was first to recite my poem
‘Seven men you definitely wouldn’t want to date’
Not a sign of stage fright at all
Di recited ‘The Fine’ and Irene ‘1958’
Then it was back to me with ‘Just Desserts’
It was the very first funny poem I’d written
Di’s ‘Night Nuisance’ and Irene’s ‘A Transcript’ poems followed
With poetry we are all smitten
With massive smiles on our faces we walked off the stage
Came back later to take a bow
The audience applause was rapturous – I can still hear it in my head now!
Last night I performed on stage at a charity event in front of 600 people … it was my first time on a ‘proper’ stage at the Victorian Gaiety Theatre and was the most incredible night of my life! The night raised awareness of Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's and raised over £6000 ($7410) from ticket sale alone - there were bucket collections too.

Today is her birthday ring all the bells
Today is her birthday for one who excels
Today be prepared ~ be warned ~ be aware
The grooviest grandma
With flowing red hair
Will be hitting the town
In her gold lamé gown
On the tiniest of feet
Oh so comfy ~ so sweet
Shimmering ~ Silver ‘Birks’
‘Cos to wear any others
Quite frankly really hurts…
A scarlet feather boa
Think you already know her?
Chandelier earrings almost touching the floor
She is Sassy ~ Saucy ~ Sexy too
Hey ~ have you almost guessed who?
With her beloved pussy Irene ^~^
Who really thinks she is the Queen
Robed head to tail in emerald green
A classier pair you've never seen
As a friend she makes me smile
for this I love her all the while
I love her total eccentricity
her passion and her honesty
Happy Birthday salutations on this day of celebrations
Sending love and hugs across the world from Ann your biggest fan
To my dearest Panagiota my poem is my gift to you
Enjoy your day ~ in your unique way ~ as only you can do…

The Wood Elves were summoned among the
Greens
Your here to spread the news about the birth
Of our princess.
Her name is Josephine
She was born at eight fifteen
Was nineteen inches long and weighted in at
Six pounds 3 ounces the Queen is fine and the
King is overflowing with happiness.
The Wood Elves were summoned among the
Greens
Her eye color is aquamarine.
Later on we will have a gala with full dress.
Her name is Josephine
She was named after the mother of the Queen
For her courageousness
The Wood Elves were summoned among the
Greens
We believe she has taken after her great great
Grandmother Irene
Seems she can see tree lights in varying degrees
So she will be able to understand the old ancient
Language which makes her even more priceless.
Her name is Josephine.
The other attribute is she will be a great go
Between
Since she is half human we believe there will be
No limit to her success.
Now go in peace with this news release around
The greens
Telling everyone you meet we have a princess her
Name is Josephine.
A Story from My Heart
Kelly was a Red Tabby and a contemplative soul!Elena, my daughter used to put him in her doll buggy and walk him around the house. How he loved those rides!
History. I found Kelly near Chinatown in San Francisco, on a busy street in a teeny garden bed. Noisy cable cars, passing by!
I picked him up and went to apartments, nearby. Nobody was the owner! So I hailed a cab and took him home.
Back then, nobody fretted over cat diseases or wondered, if a cat was neutered
I just brought him home to my Calico, Luvey!
My cats had to be calicos or red tabbies only. My present feine is Irene, also a Calico. Our feral outdoors cat is a Calico.
Luvey accepted Kelly instantaneously, like a part of the family.
They were like sister and brother. We took him to the vet, had him fixed. He died from Kidney disease, he had to be put down.I laid on the floor in the vet lobby and had a tantrum, like a kid! I was so attached to that guy. He was in
misery the last few weeks of his loving life.
The Calico, Luvey, outlived him. Sle got to age 25! That one fell out of a three story window..I found her in the morning. She was limping, that’s all. I
told my fiancé, I wanted her checked out. So, took her in,
The vet showed me..ugh...she cracked her palate, which required surgery, and after that, they could not wake her! I said, “I will come down and wake her!!l”
She was lying, almost dead in the bottom of the cage.
I opened the door and said my magic words ” Mommy is here!” She woke up
She lived to be twenty-five years old! Luvey had a heart attack while being examined for a bad cold. I sat in a room, and talked to that dead cat and sang to her for 45 minutes. Those were precious moments.
May she Rest In Peace! Luvey was a tiny cat. And my first. A boyfriend brought her to me. I said, “I don’t want a cat!!.
Hal said, “give her a try for one night!!
That transformed into 25 awesome years...
Addenda~ A Shining Memory
One Christmas, I walled Kelly down the long hall in our
apartment building...His leash was thick, forest green tinsel!
A most loving companion, beloved by all my neignors.
I still miss him, though decades have flown away!

O! I must walk the hidden span
That Generously embraces ‘Here’ and ‘There’,
And it is made of Glass, of Glass Impermanent.
My very misted breath, exhaled, is not enough
To show it visible
To show a way
Across the dark expanse
Of frozen night…
So, I must feel my way by barefoot steps,
And hope I do not step off it
It stretches from the Time I spent with You, My Love,
Unto the Time, interminable, I spend with me.
Sometimes, to urge me on, a Cracow Man
Who broke a tiny corner of the Iron Curtain
And slipped through
A Survivor born, born after, in Germany
A fair cousin beats back the dark
(She cared for me, when I was numb
and all the other tongues were dumb
for what to say)
And bright Irene who loves,
And cannot wait for Spring
With broken porcelain, sea sand, coins and sparkling moondust,
They show the way, spread these
Outline the Glass
But I must pass
My test with God's Bright Ray
(And I can scarcely find the Lamp
Within myself
To turn it on –
The switch, I fumble…)
But, Now!
Back to Hope in a breath!
Beyond the End of the Bridge the Night is glowing Midnight Blue
The Stars like Quasars, sing!
Elysium Lights my Way!
And You are there… and You are there…
And soon, it will be Day!
Have you ever been hypnotized?
I was always the one they led up to the stage from the audience.
I could be so easily hypnotized it was nuts.
Infatuated by it, I took some classes
Teaching me how to hypnotize others.
Dr. Hickman was teaching them.
She gave me a book.
Hypnotherapy by Dr. Irene Hickman.
I was not ready for this.
I thought it was a bunch of hooey.
I did not appreciate the book or her autograph.
Ten years later fate threw me into a hypnotherapy course.
I am now a licensed hypnotherapist. Wishing I had not
been so hasty.
I had thrown away the book.
Feel badly now, as Dr. Irene Hickman
Was one of three people instrumental in
Introducing hypnotherapy to the United States.
I was shocked when I took the course,
And learned that the woman who desperately
Wanted to intern me years earlier was one of
The pioneers.
She was a calm, quiet, older, eighty-year old who spoke softly….
He was a shabby, mean, mouthy and nasty boy
chasing after cats dragging along his buddy Mccoy;
and they both were slim and handsome but laughed a lot
when they ate corned beef and cabbage from a large pot.
" Keith, don't forget to feed the cats,
I've bought another bag from the supermarket,
and please don't eat their food...they aren't biscuits! "
" Okay, mom I'll feed them and won't forget. "
Everyone in the neighborhood considered them evil,
Irene, the red-headed gal, called them hoodlums;
the elderly locked their doors saying, " Go to hell! "
The town had become an armory of brooms.
Their aunt Agata used to say, " They were such nice boys in their teens,
now they hunt cats uphill and cage them as tigers and feed them frogs and weeds;
" Enough, enough scoundrels...I'll hit you with my long broom from left to right
even when you tie the knot in that church with a beautiful, naive bride! "
" Uh, uh!" The cat hunters replied with a defiant, boorish frown,
" Try to chase us, aunty...you'll never catch us, we dare you to race! "
" Stop, pretty boys...you are going to get Frankenstein's ugly face! "
They replied, " Go ahead! Go ahead! He was too big to run! "
All the kids that disliked them placed bananas peels all over the road leading to Kill,
and as they tried to flee from aunt Agata, they fell on them and went downhill....
hitting their faces on pine needles that poked deep and made them bleed;
" I got you, rascals," she happily screamed..." Now, say your sorry creed! "
Our Little Group

I love to read the poetry,
the verse, the rhyme, the symmetry
it’s there for all the world to see,
I love to read the poetry
We started up a group you know,
so we could let these words just flow
back and forwards, to and fro,
we started up a group you know
We encourage each other to try and write,
words that rhyme, and some that might
which come to us by day or night,
we encourage each other to try and write
There’s John and Pam and Williams keen,
Dennis, Mary, Louisa, Irene
Sheila, Keven and Rik have been,
to tell verse of things they’ve done and seen
With Gareth, John Holmes, William posts for him,
Pauline, Angie, and Bob are in
the group we started as a bit of fun,
but we all enjoy what we have done
Many other cheer us on,
“nice one Bill”, “I enjoyed that John”
“I remember”, and “we used to do that,
we see it in rhyme, and it brings it all back
If I’ve forgotten anyone who’s posted,
I really hope, I don’t get roasted
and to all those who, have cheered us on,
we’re glad you enjoyed our bit of fun.
For all pet lovers, go and hug you pet.
Dogs love belly rubs, you can bet!
How about a yummy treat this very might?
Before, you sit with them this special night.
Spend time with your furry feline friemds.
Toys, Catnip, play, don’t be afraid to bend!
Their time with us, is relatively ,short.
Enjoy them now before they live in God’s heavenly court!
Look in their hypnotic eyes, delightfully mellow.
All pets, indeed, are as beautiful as rainbows.
You are blessed and good, to have one in your care.
Pet owners have a halo, which highlights their hair!

Home Alone
Waiting next to our humble tree, Irene
wants me home.
To sing her Christmas Carols and ne’er
more to roam.
The tree is the perfect size, as she hides
behind it like a disguise.
Her orange toy lies, just to her right.
Irene, brave cat that you are, have no fright,
Mom hopes to be home by Christmas
Night!
But no Greek dancing this year, if you
please?
I don't want to break another thigh and
knee.
I love you cat-daughter of mine.
On Christmas morn, we will bask in
the warm, holiday sunshine!
