“Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It’s the only way to live
In cars”
Gary Numan – Cars

Just a Rent-A-Car

Just another rent-a-car
Down on the beat
I can drive you really far
Even in this damned heat
I may not be a smart-car
But I know every street

Just put down the cigar
Step inside and take a seat
I will take you on a tour
Ever so lovely and grandeur

Jealous of my Boogie

“Don’t be jealous of my boogie”
The older wise Mercedes said to the little new car
Who had turned red when trying with the old one to spar
And found out, it could not drive quite as far
After all, the vintage model was the star

Goldilocks and the Three Yellow Lorries

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the neighbourhood. Pretty soon, she came upon a parking lot and noticed three yellow lorries.

She stepped into the biggest one:

“This lorry is too hot to handle” she exclaimed.

So, she hopped into the middle lorry, and sat behind the wheel again:

“This lorry is too passe,” she said

So, she tried the smallest of the lorries:

“Ahhh, this lorry is just right,” she said happily, turned on the engine, and off she went!

Ode to My Little Car for SL-WEEK 42

“Good things come in small sizes”

Ode to My Little Car

It was a tiny little thing
Not the prettiest of the lot
The name had a soft ring
Almost like a plot

Fiesta…
Siesta…

Round and round in paces
Could see the look on others faces
‘Surely that is not the car to buy’
‘To her money she would kiss goodbye’

Trying it on for size I did
Smiling like a little kid
Spite what others may have though
This car was surely bought

It wasn’t quite what expected
Less is not more, had to respect it

Tempted by a car with muscle
The salesman tried to hustle
Something made me turn to look
The little car had gotten me hooked

Back and forth I went
Trying not to get bent
It was calling me I could hear
Trying hard not to get near

But
Fear not
Reason won in the end

After all
The muscle car was too tall
And lets face it
I got hitched

The tiny car was kin
All is well in the end

Lesson learned: Think big, buy small!

“The best seat in the house”

Snowy Seat Sunday

It may be cold outside
With lots of frosted snow
But as the sun comes from its hide
You need to take it slow
Take a seat for a while
Even if it’s not your style
And simply enjoy with a smile…

But, thank goodness: It’s almost summer now!

Ä.I.T.I (Hyvää Äitienpäivää!)

An homage to Mothers everywhere: Happy Mother’s Day!
Omistettu kaikille Äideille, erityisesti Mammalle!

“Äidit ovat vaistomaisia filosofeja” Harriet Beecher Stowe

Äiti

Voimanainen
Erilainen
Ei elämäsi
Helponlainen

Selviytyjä
On yhtä hyvä
Kuin kylvetty
Viisauden jyvä

Nimesi
Mukanani
Kannan ikäni

“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it” Mark Twain

Mom

A Superhero
Without a cape
A villain
Without a bait

You may not
Be perfect
Or even a saint
A vision of Madonna
I wouldn’t paint

Often
I neglect
To tell you
Never a zero
Always my hero
My go to

Mom

Love you Mom!

“Dogs are my favorite people” Richard Dean Anderson

Cats ans Dogs 

Cats and Dogs
Put them in a box
What secrets untold
Before you unfold
When the box is opened
Only keep hoping
There is no other agenda
Are they friends or enemies
Or just plain frenemies
That is the age old dilemma
Of Cats and Dogs
