See Ya at A-Z. Taking a little break.

How we wrote messages when we lived in Florida
The time has come
The walrus said to talk of many things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings.



 I need a small break. See you at A-Z.

  1. A small break
    You take
    Geez to that
    Dissappointed the cat
    See can't even spell LOL
    Have a fun time off at your cell
    And don't talk to the trees
    Or strange dogs willing to share fleas
    And if you start talking to things
    You may get lock up in the loonie wings

      My body still goes like the bunny
      It's the peepers not so funny
      They have a mind, they often blur
      If I were cat I'd raise my fur
      Then I have to take some time
      Because I barely see my rhyme
      If a tree does at me tug
      It's prob because it needs a hug
      If in the loonie bin I arrive
      I'll use ear plugs for all the jive
      I'll rest the peepers from the puter
      For A-Z I'll then be cuter. LOL

  3. Greetings human Manzanita,

    Messages in the sand are at hand. And take that little bit of time to relax.

    My human and I do wish you much fun with the amazing alphabet challenge. I know a lot of folks enjoy the interaction that comes from the Z to A Blogging Challenge. I got that right haven't I? :)

    Pawsitive wishes,

    Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! :)

      I'm glad you enjoyed the music. It's modern Flamenco written by Paul Renslow. I should have added that to the top burb. He's so talented and so is my student. I wonder what lessons I'll learn from you this year.

  8. Yeah! I'm glad your doing the challenge, can't wait to find out how you'll educate me this year!

      It's an arm/hand practice that is vitally necessary for Flamenco dancers. Cheers to you and the two babies.

  14. Apparently that was only ONE way you wrote messages... you also stuck them in bottles and threw them into the ocean! No, I haven't found it yet.

    See you at A to Z:)

    1. Kay,
      Of course I was a student of the old pure flamenco and that is still my dance, but there is a new modern flamenco and this is some of the music. It not heavy like the old stuff I cut my teeth on 60 some years ago. LOL

  20. Dear Manzanita, those fluid hand movements were entrancing. They sort of mesmerized me. I wonder if doing them all these years has kept you from having arthritis in your hands?????

    I look forward to your A to Z postings. That takes a level of dedication I just don't have. So I admire all of you who are accepting the challenge. Take care. And one last word: the cat at the top of your blog is gorgeous. Peace.

  21. Dee,
    I like mesmerizing. Ha No it didn't. I have it.

    Sorry you won't be participating.

    The cat is photogenic. You know the saying, so and so looks better in photos than in real life. LOL
