A Monster goes window shopping

Window shopping is my thing
especially high ones of tall buildings
No one spots me when I wear my hat
I blend right in! How 'bout that?
since these people are so dumb
I will help myself to more than one
Yummy yum yum.




This drawing is another one courtersy of Tim, one of many crazy doodles in his work notebook.

Zany but OK

Here's a lollie I saved for you
eat it
as long as it's candy OK
I will

Alice at home

A-L-I-C-E spells my name

after a girl of wonderland fame

but not a girl, a white rabbit I am

with red eyes so pretty says my mam

My mammy is gone away

for eight months now I'd say

(To work and find a way

to buy a forever house for us to stay)

But I don't really mind

as I am having a nice time

eating hay and carrots in my cot

I don't really need a lot.

Inchworm Baby

This inchy jelly baby

tinches across and maybe

will get to the other side

but the page is very wide

and its slow sliding on it's belly

now heading towards the teli

for it's favourite show has begun

I think he'll stand up and run.

The Yam and the Cream Slice

I am a Yam
that's what I am.
That's not a custard thing.
I can't rhyme for nuts,
or write poetry either.
My wind up flipclock just went "Ping!".



Wow, it's SOOOO hard keeping this "Every Day in May" challenge. I think it's more the 'writing a poem everyday' challenge I set for myself. Definately hard to write a poem with picture everyday.

This evening Tim and I ate the "French Slice" pastry my mum bought on Saturday from this gorgeous bakery round the corner from our place. He kept calling it a custard slice and I was reminding him it was cream not custard. mmm pastry and cream is mi- Notty's favourite.

I also have this beautiful, original, retro, windup flip clock I won off ebay while I was in Tasmania. I've been wanting to get hold of a nice original Flipclock for ages, even better that this one was a windup, no batteries needed ever! but it hadn't been able to keep proper time since a few days ago. It used to pause randomly and also stop everytime it got to the alarm. Now it goes "ping" when it reaches the alarm, and still keeps going, and keeps time pretty good!
