“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

The Finnish Dream

A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight

“Helsinki isn’t all that bad.
It’s a very nice city,
and it’s cold really only in wintertime”
Linus Torvalds

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

At the Market Square


The hustle and bustle
The use of the rustle
All the customers
Lurking about this summer
The Market Square
The biggest fair
This side of town

Keep bringing us the tuna
And we’ll sing a watery tune for ‘ya!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

Statuesque

A sculpted lady
Whom some call shady
Even a little crazy
But when it’s May Day
She’ll get her dues paid
A cap on her head
And all the joy to spread

We are, the spitting seals
We are, much cooler than eels
We just, do what we feel
We are, the famous seals!

Linus Torvalds

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

At the Market Square

The jewel of the crown
Bursting with life
Peacefully, without a strife
Roaming the stands
Even if not a fan
You may enjoy the ambiance
So come on down and take chance
Even if it rains
No worries, the stains
Will not remain!

Finnish proverb

Statuesque

A lady, named Amanda
A lovely girl, who just wanted to have fun -ya
So keep your propaganda
Keep cool and sit on the veranda
Eat your delicious banana
And pretend, you are in Havanna!

The Finnish Dream

If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finn’s existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator
