Working Seats
Street artist at work
Regular as clockwork
Doing a lot of footwork
While showing off his artwork
Some done with brushwork
Some even woodwork
In an other life a clerk
Did a lot of paperwork
Now, on the street to network
Hoping to sell his handiwork
If you wont buy,
Then maybe you’re a jerk

Working Seats
Wine tasting
Under, the sun ever pasting
This seat is reserved
To the one who deserved
A small break
During each day
After the finest display
Of the wine tasting play

Welcome to the thrift shop
We got knick-knacks of all sorts
Selling, selling, sold
The saleslady ever so bold
But sometimes
The time flies
Sooner or later, off her feet she falls
Then, the little chair her calls
“Admit your defeat,
Get off your feet,
And just take, a seat,
It’s no big leap
To sit down
And maybe, just tweet”
Runeberg Torte Day aka Johan Ludvig Runeberg Day

Runeberg Torte Day aka Johan Ludvig Runeberg Day (1804–1877)
National celebration in Finland
From the Finnish National Anthem
“Our land, our land, our fatherland,
Sound loud, O name of worth!
No mount that meets the heaven’s band.
No hidden vale, no wavewashed strand.
Is loved, as is our native North. Our own forefathers’ earth.
Johan Ludvig Runeberg
Runeberg Torte: In honour of the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877)
Runeberg torte is a Finnish pastry flavored with almonds and arrack or rum and it weighs about 100 grams. Raspberry jam inside a sugar ring is commonly placed on top of the tart.
The torte got its name from the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877) who, according to legend, enjoyed the torte with punsch for every breakfast. Runeberg tortes are typically eaten only in Finland and are generally available in stores from the beginning of January to Runeberg’s birthday on February 5.
Delicious!

You will jump when they hail
“Yes Ma’am” you hear yourself say
When they approach you with a sway
And tell you it is time to play

Cats, are the rulers of the world
Sometimes you may hear yourself say “shit”
But you have to admit
You are loving every minute of it

Rulers of the World
They run your world
Despite whatever you heard
Twisting you around their tall tails
Urging you to run on nails
