Swell

or the day the snake started wearing glasses….


Edwin banged on the glass and threw rocks at the birds.

He pushed through the crowds to make sure he was first!

“Where does this door go to?” Edwin asked of his Mum.

“You get back here this instant!  Leave that door knob alone!”

And then he was gone…    As for clues, there weren’t any.

Seems that Edwin that day, banged on one glass too many!

Imperfect

They’re creepy and they’re kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They’re all together ooky,
The Addams Family.

Some may think they are imperfect with all their quirks and cracks… but I think…

they are absolutely perfect!

Gesture

Due to Mary’s unusual gestures, it was quite obvious that …something  was afloat!   ;)

An oldy… but a goody! Hey now… I’m talking about the illustration!!

The Selkie

Torn between sea mists and solid land
Nights when I’ve ached for a human hand
I’ll come to you while the Moon shines bright
But I must go free with the first streak of light
