Woohoo!!!
What did you bring?
Time for a little something
The dinosaur and Penelope
Continues tomorrow.
Life-Giving Force
Pop and crackle,
Fizz and bubble,
The witch stirs her cauldron
On the fire in her hovel.
***
She shrieks at the night
It will happen alright,
The life-giving force
Of her potion’s in sight.
***
It’s got onions and greens,
Carrots and beans,
There’s garlic and lentils,
She’s hungry and keen
To gobble it up,
From bowl and from cup,
The magic of plants
She’ll slurp and she’ll sup.
The Doctor Said
“He’ll soon be dead,”
The doctor said
As she stood at the end
Of her patient’s bed.
***
“He ignored my advice,
Never gave up his vice,
‘Those flesh foods will kill you’
I said more than twice.”
***
The nurse shook his head
As he straightened the bed,
“Avoidable suffering,
What a waste,” he said.
Dear Giovanni
“Dear Giovanni wouldn’t eat a bird.”
“He wouldn’t eat a bird?”
“No, haven’t you heard?
Lovely Giovanni wouldn’t eat a bird,
Because he loves them dearly.”
****
“Dear Giovanni wouldn’t cook a bird.
He wouldn’t cook a bird
In his restaurant, take my word!
Kind-hearted Giovanni, beloved restauranteur,
Wouldn’t cook a bird, no sir!”
****
“Giovanni has a motto,
I don’t know if you’ve heard it,
He says ‘Don’t hurt friends,
Or friends of friends,
Because none of them deserve it.'”
****
I had fun painting this cityscape and the name for the restaurant, Giovanni’s, just popped into my head. Â Then, because I wanted to make a post in keeping with this week’s theme – birds – I wrote a quirky poem to go with it. Â Then I thought – wouldn’t it be great if there really was a vegan restaurant called Giovanni’s? Â So I googled and, guess what – there is! Â What are the chances???

Thanks Rhea 🙂
STOP PRESS:
Since posting this, Rhea has been in touch (see comments below) and she, in turn, told Giovanni who also dropped us a line (see comments again).  Anyway, I thought you might be interested in Giovanni’s fascinating story about how he became a vegan chef  which is revealed in his interview with Green Door Magazine, so click here
Muddy Boots
The leaves are brown and they’re tumbling down,
The rain is falling faster.
The mud is wet; how deep the puddles get,
My boots are a disaster!
🙂
Back soon!
Don’t you just love ’em
