Your Perfect Place

A  L  O  H  A !

" If I have learnt anything, 

it is that life forms

 no logical patterns. -

- It is haphazard and 

full of beauties which

 I try to catch

 as they fly by,

 for who knows

 whether any of them 

will ever return? "

                        Margot Fonteyn

Is there a 

Perfect Place to live?

That would differ 

for different folks.

A Laplander or Inuit

might hate jungles,

while a jungle woman

would freeze

in their world.

Do you love mountains?

Lakes? Deserts? 

The Sea?

The town of your birth,

or a place made 

just your own

far, far Away?

Town? Country?

Condo or ranch?

Do we need

People like us?

or perhaps a

foreign land?

For some a tiny

uninhabited isle

would be just

perfect,

Perfectly Grand!

Name one thing

you love

about Your Home;

[And one you hate,

IF you dare.]

I'll start us off:

"Hawaii's uniqueness

&

Hawaii's uniqueness"

[for good and less-good]

Now YOUr turn!

Clever Bananas

A L O H A!

Welcome

Banana Leaf

"Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana."

Bill Gates

YO, Vinny!
They're EVERYWHERE!

"You don't want your credibility banana to turn brown, but you do want to speak out about what you believe in."
Bradley Whitford

"You have to have a certain persona to be a star, you know, and I don't have that. I'm a banana."

Harvey Korman

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

Confucius

Clever Bananas, the portable fruit!

I've tried everything to keep them fresh

when all the time they were ready to go:

simply separate them

and they know that it is time to be portable,

they keep fresh and go along.

Such a companionable fruit!

The bunch of five

like a vegetal hand

reaching out

across the species barrier

as if to shake hands

(That's what they're called:

a "Hand of Bananas"

at least that's what I call them.)

Yo, Yellow!

Time to come along on a little

walk-about.

Apple bananas, growing in da yard,

sweet and custard-y

not store-bought and hard!

So here's to a noble curved companion

No! not THAT one!

the lowly banana

whose "tree" is really a giant grass.

Tomorrow's post:

"I've got a loverly bunch a coconuts!"

A L O H A!
