No worries!
Just hurry and
Join the fun
Have a seat,
In the sun!

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte
Seat in the Sun
Didn’t get,
Too much done?
Competed,
But someone else won?
Feeling,
Like your phaser,
Is set on stun?

Deck the Halls (traditional song)
Posted in Holiday Season Photography and Song
“He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree”
Roy L. Smith
Deck the Halls (traditional song)
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!
‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!
See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la!
Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la!
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!
Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la!
Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.
To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy,
is to have the real spirit of Christmas”

Porridge
Rice in porridge?
Sounds completely foreign!
But for us Finns
Add some milk, sugar and cinnamon
And you got a win!

Angels and Elves
Angels and elves:
Where do they dwell?
Filling the shelves
Putting on spells
Ringing the holiday bells
Letting us know
All is now well

Happy Holidays and A Very Merry Xmas to One and All!

“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon.
December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown.
How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss
Happy Holidays and A Very Merry Xmas to One and All!
‘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
In a mighty hurry
No time for blurry
Their sleigh filled
Up to the hilt
As it took off
With a big bang
And a huge puff
As they all sang
The yuletide carols
As they rolled off
Children and grown-ups
Getting lots of stuff
As the little green men
Working collectively
Their derrières off in zen
As the Xmas spirit
Now duly delivered
All around the world
At least,
That is what we heard
A Visit to the North Pole
Posted in Holiday Celebration
“O, how glorious would it be to set my heel upon the Pole and turn myself 360 degrees in a second!”
Joseph Banks
A Visit to the North Pole
A quick trip
To the North Pole
A little hop and skip
To the beat of the drum roll
The elves busy at work
Their faces in a permanent smirk
No time for breaks or coffee
Not even a little toffee
The holiday season is upon us
Which has caused all the fuss
Be careful where you step though
You may end up in a pile of snow
Santa’s sleigh
Without delay
Flying over the river
Presents to deliver
Hitch a ride
In a blink of an eye
You’ll be landing
At the front door standing
Was it a dream
So it would seem
But then again
Life is but a dream

Whales Ahead
“Hop on
Hop off”
The seller scoffed
Waving us to board
Not knowing what was in store
Anticipation
Hesitation
Finally at sea
And nowhere to flee
The boat shook
“Oh, look!
Thar be whales here!”

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Up the River
Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver
