When the Isle of Man Master Baitor
Got a gig on an Irish freighter
To Scotland they sailed
Until they were hailed
When seamen splashed an aviator...

This is how they're born.
They come from the Isle of Man.
It's out in the Irish Sea.

Blessing For Cats
a pleiades
Back off, speedy cat, wait for the word;
Brakes on, until the blessing be heard.
Button up, fat lips, let us give thanks.
Brother, do you remember the Manx?
Busy with gobbling, he failed to pray.
Buzzsaw, the dog, determined to play,
Bob-tailed cat, end result, on that day....

A Vain Manx
I once had a Manx who constantly primped; her white underbelly never sported one piece of grass or dirt. She kept so clean and fluffy that we’d no idea he’d had her backside chewed up for three days, by an Opossum!
In altercation
My cat became Opossum
Chow wearing teeth marks....

Isla Mann
Island woman, nautical mystery,
Shrouded in history, over the sea,
Longing to see her, when I set sail,
Ageless, Manx goddess, she's waiting for me.
Maritime woman, always mystical,
Ancient Manx goddess, from over the sea,
Nautical distance, I will not fail,
Now that I know, she's waiting for me.

Hunting the Wren On St Stephen's Day
folk dance in the streets
trying to find a ‘fake’ wren -
old Manx tradition
I’ve lived here for many years but have never witnessed this tradition but it is very popular and held in various locations across our little island. It is also celebrated in Ireland

"morris" the Manx
"Morris" The Manx
A "tailess" menace is what he can be..
Getting into everything; so full of energy!
A cheshire grin, a pair of big mischievous eyes..
Jumping out of nowhere, he likes to surprise!
He prances around, chasing everything freestyle.
Frolicking about, I have to smile.
Running like a rabbit, he climbs up a tree!
Clawing his way back down with such gallantry!
This "tailess" menace, noble, smart and robust!
I just love my waggish Manx in all his glorious zaniness!...
