“I’ll definitely be out of order for a few days!” Gun Roswell
Out of Order
Out of order
Flat on my face
Semiconscious
Feeling sorer
And out of place
For the next few days
Relying on others’ aid
Hoping not to faint
Ain’t that quaint
But I am hardly a saint
Almost felt jinxed
But now my six
Is getting fixed
Add into the mix
Out of order
For a few days at least
“When I told my doctor I couldn’t afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays” Henny Youngman
Fixing It
The day has arrived
In three months’ time
Finally going under the knife
Oh what a life
Facing the surgeon
Guess it was urgent
After all
This time spent
In the end
Hasn’t been a ball
Not a fan of hospitals, needles or blood
It’s such a crud
But not being in control
Is the worst of all
Lying unconscious
Body and mind
Out of commission
Please be kind
Without condition
Wish me luck
Let’s hope the doctors
Won’t fuck it up!
“A lot of us think we’re invincible… but we have to start putting ourselves on the to-do list” Giuliana Rancic
Invincible
The name suggested
A battle maiden invested
Always the strong one
Getting everything done
Relying on strength
Taking great lengths
Never cheating
Always completing
Out of the blue
Without a clue
When least expected
The unthinkable was inflicted
The temple of strength failed
And came tumbling down
Feeling jailed
Oh treacherous one
Completely helpless
Not the fearless
Never been so afraid
Beginning to fade
Sometimes going insane
From all that pain
Going through stages
In quite the rages
Denial, anger, bargain, depression
With each session
Looking for that quick fix
Throwing in the mix
Ideas of the radical
Forgoing the medical
With a scoff
Thinking on just walking it off
Final stage at hand
Taking the stand
Waving the white flag
No more snags
Feeling revived
Acceptance had arrived

(Sunday 13-12-2015)
“I took a back seat and did whatever it took for the team to win” James Harden
Take A Seat
Break the beat
And take a seat
Which one do you prefer?
You have been given three options this week
Are these something
To your liking
Or other types you seek?
The old wooden bench
Which has seen better times
The chair in the cafe
During a busy day
Or the comfy fluffy recliner
There is really no denying her
She is quite the tempting one
Check out the great collection of photographers and their work on Photo Rehab /The Clinic!

In honour of the month of December
Poetry & Photography
“I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an ‘errie’ in it!” Jordin Sparks
Delicious
Red, juicy, delicious
My one and only precious
You make me so jealous
Driving me reckless
With all your freshness
I am getting restless
One bite of your essence
Leaves me breathless
You left me this impression
So, hear my confession
You are my obsession
I wish, my possession
My red delicious all so merry
My one and only Strawberry
In honour of the month of December and the day of Sankta Lucia (13.12.)
“Natten går tunga fjät
rund gård och stuva;
kring jord, som sol förlät,
skuggorna ruva.
Då i vårt mörka hus,
stiger med tända ljus,
Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia”
“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
There in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia”
Sankta Lucia
The bearer of light
For the future to shine bright
With all her might
Like the shining white knight
Her sword will smite
All the anger and spite
The world to rewrite
Without war or fight
Sankta Lucia

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of, Narrow
“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence” Henry David Thoreau
Narrow Passage
What’s behind us here has led
To the narrow passage ahead
Do not fear or dread
For the future wide and open
To this path have woven
No words to be spoken
As we take our first step

“I cannot sing, dance, act or write, but it never stopped me from doing any of those things” Gun Roswell
Who the Hell is Gun?
She thinks she is the Gun with the fastest bullets
She sure loves her creature comforts
Her chair, her Trek, her Mac and coffee
Maybe even some added toffee
Home sweet home
Her true heart’s motto
Write more and still some more
Her work etchic on the dot-o
A holiday spent in a warmer climate
Cheeks will turn the colour of tomatoes
Fuel it will for a year’s worth
Surely going onwards strong with mirth
Even of her car she wrote
A little tale, oh what a poet!
Drag Queens, comedy, science fiction
Between them not always a clear distinction
Her home filled with objet d’arts
A collection long ago did start
Oh and did I mention the many a shoes?
Maybe even a witch’s brew?
Her leg was operated a while ago
Now fully mended and on the go
High heels come a clacking
When someone at the door is knocking
Strong and independent is her mindset
But do not that let
Fool you into thinking
She is not as soft as a kitten
When it comes to her and hers
You can softly hear her purr
When the working day is done
Let the slumber surely come
Absolutely Fabulous Post for the holiday shopping in Helsinki Finland:
Magical Christmas season has arrived in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and the city is filled with plenty of opportunities to capture Christmas spirit and meet Santa Claus in person.
While other people spend their time shopping for Christmas presents at busy Helsinki city centre shopping centres, department stores and boutiques, I prefer taking
