A Chinese Dilemma

Why are the metallic monsters coming towards us, xien sho?
Must be the white tribe's tribute to thee; exalted highness, "son of heaven"!!

Despotic Dreams

My brother the big dictator
hates my being a drake.
Stands by insisting I wear lavender;
to be seen as a pansy
by all the hot ducks I fancy.

A Haiku - 16 And A Photo Tweet

As she nervously rambled on about the detergent sales dip in their branch; 

he pondered guiltily over their break-up's effect on her.

She stood on the ground /

Pride and grace personified /

Haiku 15, # 39 RandomMusings For The Day

Lost in heavy trance

her son, glistening eyes saw

the bike rider start.

he drove on; unaware of shouts to stop,

she still stood, awaiting.

If being a blood sucker is cool, aren't mosquitoes the coolest?....they don’t even sparkle in the sun. ;D

Past And Present

Past -

“Think it’s possible?”

“Frankly Andy,  the skull is too small  to be human.”

“Request Brown to create a new branch. Lucy*  will soon be passe.”


*Lucy as in Hominin of whom only one species - homosapiens (us) survives

Present -

Hammering talks of Pattinson’s hair everywhere
Swear never has anyone else been discussed threadbare.
Can understand a hyper, emotional teen,

But an older  woman screaming, a disturbing scene.

If omelettes were to be his tingle,

A vegan’s wife will soon be single.

Quietly throwing cat hairs around the cushions for effect. 

Her allergy driving Dad's mean date away forever, the twins grinned at the plan.
