Carrie Fisher

“Taivaalla lentää… Teräs Mamma!”
Hyvää Syntymäpäivää Mamma!
Teräs Mamma
Super Muori
Ei ehkä niin nuori
Perunat kuitenkin kuori
Ja laittoi sukat suoriks
Hiukset kampas’
Paimensi jopa lampaat
Pesi hampaat
“Onhan tänään päivä suuri
Vaikka heräsinkin juuri
Ja vastasin luuriin
Matkalla kauppaan Tuuriin”
Eipä kummoinen riimi
Eipä tämä runoilija ole kovin fiini
Joten tähän lopuksi
Ennen kuin pitää laittaa hopuksi
“Erinomaista synttäriä sulle Mamma!”

“My mother is a walking miracle”
Leonardo DiCaprio
Happy Birthday to Our Mom!
A true super hero
A non-caped crusader
A mom made of steel
She’ll make you eat oatmeal
Tell you how she feels
Ask you, what is the big deal
The mom of moms
Enjoys the occasional rum
Is a lot of fun
And always has a phaser on stun
With the motto
“Always be prepared for the worst
But expect the best”
That is why she plays the Lotto
Just like the rest
So this was not a great rhyme
But at the bell’s chime
We all get together to wish you:
A Very Happy Birthday Mom!

it would be a merrier world. “

“Christmas is the day that holds all time together”

Holiday Season
Holiday Eve
‘Twas the night before Christmas
Nothing stirred,
No sound was heard
No human, nor animal, in sight
Even the mice had taken flight
The only ones about their business
Were the little green men from Mars
They had to be really careful
Their nature a little bit fearful
For the holidays not to turn into a farce
It was their turn to spread wholly
Presents and a great amounts of jolly!”

Holiday Fantasy vs. Reality
“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…”
…Then we woke up
Put the dog out to pee
Decorated the holiday tree
In a soaking, stormy Christmas Eve

The little Red Elf
Standing on the shelf
Spreading all the mirth
To the people of this Earth

Holiday Reflections
Silent night, holy night
Time to give up the fight
Time to get quiet
Look at the pretty lights
And know that,
All will be alright

Elves
From yesteryear
A few welcome dears
For this season
Bringing us some cheer
To wash away the tears
And vanquish all fears
They are called
