Karmic Traffic Lights

Pastafarianism

Another one

is the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Pastafarianism is recognized

as a valid religion in New Zealand.

And, I've since discovered,

in Australia too.

Dutch authorities say 

it's not serious enough

to be a religion 

which is double Dutch to me,

since Pastafarians 

are a peace loving people.

who enjoy spaghetti 

and are kind 

to sentient beings.

The wearing of a col-

ander upon the head

is not compulsory. 

I think to join.

The only dogma 

is There is no dogma.

But in any case, 

I

like eating 

tagliatelle.

I've discovered 

I too can become 

a minister 

for a mere $25

which entitles me 

to  display

a certificate 

upon my wall.

I already have 

my own picture 

frame 

and a suitable colander.

Perhaps 

the Monster

has touched me 

with his wonderful noodly!

What more can I ask

in this wonderful world 

where  a zebra 

can be a tomato?

And an invisible 

pink flamingo

is a deity

according to some.

Heaven knows

where and when 

It will all 

END.

If
 EVER. 

nervi a posto*

worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair -  

it gives you something to do 

but it doesn't get you anywhere 

the green zebra is a tomato

*      keep your nerve

Very, Very, Beautiful

Mum (1920-2018)

Gracie Fields singing 'Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye' and no coffin, but a wicker basket adorned with pink roses.   


We brought no other flowers. 

We brought our smiles, tears, hugs, poems and memories. 

We conducted our own small ceremony. 

None of us wore black. 

We held her in our hearts. 

It seemed so natural. 

I can say it was beautiful. 

Very, very beautiful.

Ring of Sand

When I wonder "What it's all about" I consider the clues. The following, for example: 

Here is an elaborate ring of sand. It reminds of a sunflower. 

If you look carefully you may see the artist in the centre of the picture.

If you cannot make him out look below, for that is he.

With his ring of sand he hopes to attract a female. When she arrives they embrace in the centre of the ring and she will lay her eggs and leave. 

For his part, he will smooth the sand in the centre of the ring. And the currents will take care of the rest. 

Nothing will remain of the 'sunflower' to indicate what has passed here.
