My favourite animal is

What is your favourite animal?

My favourite animal is one that can thrive

One given permission to stay alive

That lives it’s time the way it wants

Without the threat of human taunts

That breathes fresh air and snuffles through bushes

Slides through water and lurks in rushes

Runs overland at great speed

Is opportunistic in order to feed

My favourite animals are all alive

They are so much more than the Big Game Five

Online Communication

In what ways do you Communicate Online?

Online Communication

Is important for the Nation

We order food and many things

On subscription and helplessly click as the cash till rings

The Bank says we’re overdrawn

We stare at the screen and begin to yawn

No problem, our parents account is just a cash cow

We’ll transfer the funds in real-time now

We want to tell our friends we are somewhere

Lost or found , travelling or not at all there

Our friends dont’ really want to know

But if they don’t look they might just miss the show

A video of you falling on ice,

They laugh and don’t think about it twice,

They scroll and move on to the next event

Was that what that Celebrity really meant?

You wait online to book a show

You’re patient because you really want to go

The Satellite is overloaded , you lose your slot

Then get sold some tickets by a pop-up bot,

Their fake but you don’t find out until it’s too late

When you are refused entry at the gate.

So I love my WordPress it seems so clean

And everyone is nice and no one is mean

There is a lesson for us all on here

That information is never free and truth is very, very dear.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

Think Back

Daily writing prompt
Think back on your most memorable road trip.

I’m not in the mood to think back

I want to have a change of tack

To live in the moment is what I do

I thoroughly recommend it now to you

There’ll come a time to consider the past

Tomorrow when having your normal repast

You’ll see an article about a town

You remember a long time ago, there you were bound

The road was long , the trip was sad

Though you don’t remember anything particularly bad

It wasn’t a holiday , or even for work

Luckily the vehicle never lost it’s torque

You travelled along at an even pace

Happy to be out of the rattus race

Arrived, the Town itself seemed half asleep

And the local pond seemed very deep

You stopped to feed the birds and couldn’t help but smile

Their excited flutters made it all worthwhile.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

To snack or not to snack that is the question?

What snack would you eat right now?

Oh snack, leave me alone

You tempt me like a wicked crone

You hark me back to childhood years

And gourd me with fat and fears

Those unnatural powdered additives of red and yellow

Those frothy lipids that make me mellow

Oh snack you wicked licentious hag

For my sake get back in your bag.

The “thought” breakfast

Come up with a Crazy Business Idea

I am sitting here and I don’t want to move as I have a lap top on my lap which is charging nicely.

I need the ” Thought Breakfast“.

It’s a really helpful use of telekenisis, not too energy draining and you can prepare some items before and even do the shopping the previous day to ensure that you have all the ingredients.

Then you just “think.”

” What will I have for breakfast?”

The things that you think of , just fly in from the kitchen.

In my case firstly a cup of tea in my favourite mug of the time( it changes), then a bowl of full fat greek yoghurt with honey and a few pieces of bashed pecans.

That would suffice.

My Crazy Business idea is a dream. Though if telekenisis does ever prove to work than it would have many subsidiary businesses launched from it.

“The Thought Lunch”

“The Thought Dinner”

“The Thought Snack”

NB I have to say that telekenisis is not freely available as the process could get into the wrong hands and used inappropriately and not purely for the selfish benefit of launching food from the kitchen to the lazy person sitting on the sofa. Mums the Word, Don’t Mention it to Donald.

Space, The Final Frontier

What is Your Mission?

Oh my, how we use words inappropriately , some Accountancy Firms actually have “Mission Statements”.

Still there is only one appropriate use of “Mission” and that is to explore Space, The Final Frontier and whom better to explore it with than Captain Kirk and Spock, Scottie and Dr Mc Coy in the Starship Enterprise, oh and with a little bit of HG Wells thrown in.

Until The End

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Again, coincidence has come like a bolt out of the blue. On my WordPress site I wrote a story called “Until The End” which someone read yesterday and it turned up on my stats. It made me reread it and I’m so glad I did.

The story sums up to me the precariousness of life and truthfully the horror of snuffing out the beauty of life as we know it.

Yet we live with this possibility of this every day, let us not fool ourselves, somewhere in the World as we know it today , it is happening .

A long happy life is a blessing, but who knows? That is not to say we should live in fear or indeed be self-satisfied that the status quo is being maintained in our pseudo Mar-A-Lago fake world.

“Life” that spark , savor it , it is a blessing and we don’t want to miss a moment , however long it lasts.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Dance

What could you do differently?

What is that magical feeling when you hear a piece of music, no matter how many times, and it makes you want to move your feet , limbs , head and whatever body part that moves you in a time to the music. “That” feeling. Well I would incorporate “that” feeling into all my movements. That is what I would do differently, if I could. Which I can’t , but I suppose I could try.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Thanks to AI for the 6 fingered dancer

Peace

If you had a freeway billboard , what would it say?

On my own personal freeway billboard, it would say Peace and each month I would get a different artist to design it , just with the word Peace on it and with whatever image they felt appropriate. My billboard would glow at night with LED lights in it that would still show the word “Peace”at night.
