09 Viktor Lazlo - Breathless (Official Music Video) Remastered

 


 breathless in blue 

i still  yearn for you 

it's a blue blue moon 

see you real soon

 

it's gauche to swoon

so i am sending you a bunch of pantoums

tied up with coloured balloons

with red kisses 

bright best wishes

 breathless in anticipation

i know you're waiting at the station 

for your gal in blue

i love you too


SUNDAY MUSE #  242



You are not allowed to kiss on train platforms in France

It is illegal for couples to kiss in French train stations on a platform. 

The bizarre law was introduced in 1910 in attempt to avoid costly delays to train services and overcrowding in stations. But since 1910, the law has become more lax and people do not face a formal penalty today.

Whirligig # 403

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Winter: A Dirge" by Robert Burns: hail, rain, sleet, bank, beast, bird, heartless, joyless, soothes, request, resign, fancy


 hail rain sleet

banks of snow everywhere

heartless joyless season

for man bird and beast

fancy some soothing sunshine

request a transfer or

 resign and move to a warm climate

then you can complain about the heat

Earthweal OLW # 148

 a beautiful garden

spilling over with colour and love

lots of work

 

 


 singing

in the rain

i don't think so

 


 wouldn't you like

 a little brother or sister?

no way she thought

but smiled sweetly

and said yes

 


 a ramshackle cottage

someone's castle

built without slave labour
