What notable things happened today?

Is it notable to help someone?

I did, and I’m glad.

Was it a success?

Partially, but the computer was bad!

It wouldn’t load details

But still we tried

Going back monday

To try and decide…

Even so my friend is pleased

Notably so

Her trouble was eased.

Anything else notable

Happen today?

I got some catfood

As I went on my way.

I watched some TV

Because I felt frail

That was not notable

It was a fail!

Watched Casino Royale

For the very first time

David Niven starred

It was an awful crime

So very silly

But not at all funny

Notably bad

Avoid it, a waste of money!

Eye see

Eye see you looking out at me. What are you? A mishmash? A chimera….

An ape or monkey? Imagined monster, alien symbol.

Is that a volcano or a scientific flask full of acid. How were you created. Are you a figment?

Have you got whiskers or a moustache? Close set eyes stare back. A mythological owl.

Do those eyes hide a soul, will you start to howl? A dark night could hide you, are you foul or fowl?

Frog

A friend gave us a frog

Ceramic and cold

Eggs or snails it holds

In its mouth.

Halfway up the willow

Crawling and hopping

But static.

I, startled

Backed away…

Then realised my hubby

Had placed it there

For amusement!

Statue scribble

A few days ago there was a news story about a museum that gave children crayons and paper when they visited. Unfortunately one of the children used a blue crayon to scribble all over an old sculpture. I was drawing a female head and shoulders and it suddenly struck me that it looked a bit like the statue. I added lines, and it seemed even more like the scribbled statue. Strange what your mind takes you.

Cat dominoes

By the splodges on their paws, I could play cat dominoes. I couldn’t do it physically, but my cats have blobs and spots so you could line up photos of them so you get two next to two and three next to three. It’s a silly idea I know, but they have sweet markings. I think black and white cats really are my favourite. Nothing posh. Just Jellicals cats.. A poem by TS Elliott, about cats coming out to play….

Cats eye

Posted on April 22, 2023 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Cat, Eye, Food, Fun, Looking, nonsense poem, pilchards, Poem, Poetry, Silly2 Comments

You look at me

Eyes full of hunger

Are you a lion?

A tiger?

Or just a cat.

Tomorrow I’ll buy

The best food

Tonight?

it’s pilchards

Sorry…

Pond yatch?

This arrived today! It’s almost the length and width of our settee. My hubbys brother has sent it in the post. Why? It’s meant to be a pond yatch. But our pond is smaller than the box!

I don’t need more stuff in the house. I don’t know how much wrapping is inside the box, I just told my hubby I’ve now got something to put him in when he has passed away.

Hubby and brother used to make toy boats as children, they had a small lake near their childhood home where they built ships and then reinacted naval battles and set fire to the ships (I don’t have to say what I want to do with it do I?)

Oh well, another start to another weird day. Household peace may resume. But I’m not sure when! I just wish he’d open the box, but he seems happy just to look at it!

Five letters

Posted on April 17, 2023 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Fun, Humour, Playing, Poems, Poetry, Silly, Thinking, Time, wordle, WordsLeave a comment

I’m still playing…

Stray, spice, slope…

Wordle got me

Fight, gates, grape….

I hear these words in my head

Trawl, choice, fears….

Saying words that fit the frame

Frame, banes, party….

Driving me madly badly silly

Batty, ratty, tatty…

Some American spellings catch me out

About, spout, trout,

Not the above!

But humour or humor?

But now my mind

Ticks… Tocks… Evoke….

Five letter W. O. R. D. S
