The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side
of JzB see my other blog, Retirement Blues. (There be dragons!)

Every day visits*
From Moose, Goose, and Orb Weaver
All seized by Haiku

"Why moose and goose?" you may ask. Back on 2/04/13 Pirate wrote a haiku with an elk in it, and I responded with
one with a moose and then included him every day. A few days later in comments Mystic asked "Where's the goose?"
So I started including her with this post on 2/07. A week later on the 14th, Mark Readfern
asked for and received a spider. The rest is history.

*Well, most days, anyway. Grant me a bit of poetic license.

Carpe Diem #120 - Vanity

Image Source [though I can't find it there]

We have a similar - but not identical - piece in our bedroom
A hand-me-down from my lovely wife's grandmother


A triple mirror
To see my best from all sides
Lovely furniture

~  :  ~

At her vanity
She asks, "Who is the fairest?"
In her vanity

~  :  ~

Among all people
I like me - who do you like?
Of course it's "me too"

~  :  ~

Who else could love me
As well as I love myself
Vain love not in vain

~  :  ~  :  ~  :  ~

In triple mirror
Moose admires his own fine rack
Goose preens like pin up

    Those were the days they made sensible and beautiful pieces of furniture, that lasted forever...as usual, you have approached the topic from many angles, and each one shows your 'congenital smart-ass' status!

    Vain love not in vain -- very very true!! not wrong to love oneself excessively at all ^^
    i love the reference to the Evil Queen in Snow White as well - can't believe that slipped my mind ^^
    and LOL at the triple mirror, an excellent piece of furniture indeed hahaha

This is a fun blog. Light-hearted banter is welcome. Snark is not. If you want to fight, find my other blog.

Play nice, and we'll all have fun.

I like to return visit, when I can - but I need to find you. If you have multiple blogs, please leave a direct link to the appropriate post.

Cheers!
JzB
