I’m no Jiminy Cricket
Nor the flighty Tinkerbell
I’m far older than yesterday’s tadpole
And quieter than last night’s old frog
Time for me to venture out
Take a step into the unknown
Hobbling, I board the bus
Heading off to the local eateries
Slowly limping from stop to shops
Resting on a cafe bench seat
With soft and comfy cushions
I’m definitely not moving quickly
Unlike the “Canteen” master chef
Scrambled eggs I’ll have
My choice is delicious
Cooked to perfection
A come-back-to luncheon
For me, and for them
And I’m favourably surprised
My outing went better than expected

Very much so, Ivor.
I could hear Faith No More singing ‘Easy’,
as Jiminy Cricket ordered his eggs over easy.

“When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do…”
