GRANDMA'S GOULASH

AMBITION
I am destined to rule the earth;
Evolution knows my worth.
I've cousins even more fierce than I,
With sharper claw and beadier eye.
We'll grow and grow and proliferate!
World domination is our fate!
Oops! I'm feeling a little strange.
Did someone mention Climate Change?

NAUTICAL NOTION
A rainy day in Sydney (see the dark clouds to the right);
The sky was clouding over where once it had been so bright.
And, as we entered the Museum, I saw this fractured scene;
The world broken up in fragments, with window frames between.
Like some giant jigsaw puzzle the Sydney sky-line seemed
And then we quickly rushed inside as the rain arrived ...... and teemed!
