New paintings and regular art updates.
I will sit here hooman
Till you notice me.
You can’t type here hooman.
I won’t let you see!
If you use your keyboard,
If you touch your mouse,
I will chase the wires
Dance upon the desk.
Watch out I am jumping
On the computer keys,
Padding up and down them
Hooman- I’m here. Please,
Take some notice off me
Don’t ignore the cat,
Or I’ll press a button
And Delete all that!
On Mondays we write limericks at Esther Chiltons blog here.
Her prompt for us today was Zoom.
I decided to zoom past the obvious usage of the world and wrote this:
The telescope was set on Zoom
He could see the man in the moon
I’ll get in my rocket
With some cheese in my pocket
To feed old moony real soon!
X
It’s hot, too darn hot
I feel like I’m melting,
Like an ice cream
Or a candle
Or butter
I feel like a puddle
Of sweat!
Sorry that’s horrible
But it’s too darn hot!
With this app I will play
Make new images every day
Make my whiskers go all spikey
Make your love much more likely
Art is fun, is what I say!
Not sure if I’ve got the limerick right, it rhymes the same for the first two lines and the last line, and the third and fourth rhyme too. But I’m not sure it fits the rhythm of a limerick…
Da da dah da dah da da dadada (lines one, two and five)
and – Da da da dah da (lines three and four).
For instance, this is more recognisably a limerick:
There once was a cat had a fishery
It ate all the perch and the chicory,
It hadn’t a clue
What it needed to do
So it went into debt and to bankruptcy?
Although it doesn’t make much sense! But then again limericks don’t have to, they are often nonsense verse. For instance Lewis Carrol whose real name was Charles Dodson. Anyway strange post I guess…
I was walking up our hill today and this passed me….
I’m not saying I walk slowly but paint can dry before I get back from a walk.
My feet are so flat my arches are basements?
I walked about three miles today. I couldn’t find the off switch for the treadmill!
I’m not saying I’m tired, but I can’t walk to the fridge now!
Bad jokes…..
My hubby just said (I misheard) can you look up my nose. What he actually asked was could I look up minnows.
Why? He bought a few for the pond and he wanted to know how big they get as they are only about two centimeters.
It’s amazing what you can find on line. I looked u Chinese minnows. They can grow to four centimeters long. They are bread to have some bright colours and they live on insect larvae and fish food for ponds. As we have midge or gnat larvae growing in the pond I hope they will be happy. They are living with a few goldfish and some ramshorns snails. They seem happy.
The owl and the pussycat went to sea
And found they couldn’t swim
They had to call the coastguard out,
The captains name was Jim.
He told them to get in his boat
It was a pretty sight,
An owl, a cat and one old stoat
With souwester and pipe.
Here my hubby is modelling them.
Take a pair of large size polyester boxer shorts. Put on leg over your face and neck like a scarf. Twist the middle of them and then put the other leg over your head like a headband.
This is what he wore to the shops. Along with leather gloves. I hope it was sufficient protection. Taking them off carefully afterwards. I will use my gardening gloves to pick them up and put them through a hot wash. We are now re-supplied for a few more days x
In other news
The sun’s still shining,
In other news
A baby’s smile,
In other news
The worlds still turning,
In other news
The cat still purrs,
In other news
That cow just farted,
In other news
I am amused.
He has tree trunk legs,
Tree trunk knees,
There is a nest
Of tree trunk bees.
He has tree trunk arms,
And tree trunk ears,
Made of wood
He has a tree trunk soul.
The leaves have fallen,
From his branching head,
The winter comes,
And he looks dead.
But when sap arises,
Come the spring,
He’ll be renewed
And start again.
