What am I going to do today?
Perhaps I could make a list
I drift around the house
And I ponder.

There’s so many things in my brain
What should I choose first?

I’m busy on my laptop
And I’m busy on my phone
And then I walk around the garden
Hoping something will come out in my speech.

What do you see # 240 – May 27, 2024

she’s a little black and white cat
who tippy toes around the house
walking silently then staring out

now she’s in the garden
clawing the old bench
then she prowls around

she climbs on the wall
who’s out there?

there’s no one in the close
and no one in the bushes
where are they?

she’s back in the garden
sauntering and scampering

but soon she’s ready to snooze
suddenly she’s awake
who is it?

there’s almost a squabble
but the other cat as already gone
and quite right too

now it’s back to base
and it’s lunchtime
and lots of purring

a little later
she’s gone back to bed
what a lovely life she has!

the lanterns spring up
all around the world
little specks of light
filling up with glee

the colours are vivid
from crimson to mauve
as they skipped around with joy
what a beautiful globe

the angel and the mermaid
what we do every day
we stand in the park
not moving at all
but later, it’s dark and silent
and the gates are closed
and in the moon light
the glorious graceful dancers
whirling and swaying
spreading joy

so many people
reaching out more

rage, rage, rage again

too much pollution
too many plastic bags and bottles

it should be a better place
so make it happen

just a little help
and hope

Monkey was always a little friend
but he only lived on the couch

Monkey liked to play with his people
but often he was alone

Monkey could look out to see what’s happening
but he had nothing to say

But one day he has a new friend
and he certainly looks familiar…

He used to live in Darkest Peru
but now he’s called Paddington

Monkey and Paddington talk all day
and sometimes they get into mischief!

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows two stuffed toys sitting on a cushion. The monkey on one side has its arm around the other stuffed toy that appears to be a hybrid between a bear and a penguin. (you can imagine your own combination)
