Sixty-Five? Another milestone eh?

“The age might have a number, sometimes bigger other times humbler, but what matters really is how you feel inside, even if you thing you are still a child” Gun Roswell


Yet another year but another number, only this time, it’s getting stronger and larger and well, yes, the years do pile on don’t they? As only yesterday or a few days ago you were six and now suddenly, you can add another zero to the mix and that means six-oh which translates to sixty or five. But hey, half or third way there, depending on how you look at the future. And if you end up becoming a robot, then well, who knows, maybe even six hundred and sixty plus five!

Oh, the point of this little ditty? Yes, well, as it turns out, that on this fine day of sixteenth of July, my dear partner in crime and life for that matter, actually has a birthday! And so, sixty-five it will be today. Can’t believe you got there faster than I did, but hey, turning a new birth year guess really is no competition after all 😉 So, this is why I am writing this, guess you can call it rhyme as I really cannot carry a tune or write a song.

So, before I go on for far too long, and I promise not to even try to sing that tune of that song. Only here to wish you the happiest of all, stay strong and hey, when the one hundred comes along, then we’ll take it to the top of the tallest mountain we can find and do that blasted bungee dive. After all, even older or let’s say it politely, more mature people need to have goals!

So, an extremely happy birthday Hon! 

Happy Birthday to the Bard!!!

“I am not getting older, just bolder and wiser, (I hope)” Gun Roswell

Can’t stand the flashes
Oh paparazzi be cursed
Because,
I am forced
To wear these dark glasses
Before,
My fifteen minutes of fame
Passes

Trying to act casual
Trying to act cool
After all,
There is nothing unusual
And nothing, like a fool
Than, in the middle of traffic
Stopping midway
For a quick snap it
After all
This is what all
Self conscious hip people
Do these days!
So snap, snap, snap away
A selfie in progress

Sisu, Sauna and Something else?

” When in Helsinki, do as the Finns do” 

Finns, what a nationality
We have quite the ability
To enjoy ourselves
With life’s simple little things

Sauna, heated to at least eighty degrees
Surely hot enough to melt any cheese
Beating each other with branches of birch
Almost as purifying as absolution in a church

Sisu, the spunk, guts and percistence
We have plenty of through out our existance
Rally drivers, Nokia, Linux and the rest
We only deliver the best

Koskenkorva, pure spirit made out of barley
After drinking, don’t ride your Harley
The Swedes may prefer their Vodka
But for the Finns, it’s pure dogma

We have lakes and forrests in abundance
So please come and join us
For a visit in the green of nature
It won’t leave you denatured

Mother

“What is but a Mother?” Gun Roswell


Mother

A strong woman you be
Superwoman, some may say
Yet different in every which way
Your life never the one of ease

A survivor without the need for a reason
You be as good as any kind of wisdom uttered
Wise perhaps, foolish sometimes
Fun where it counted

But it is okay
We all make mistakes

Your name
I will carry with me
Through life
The one to be called simply

Mother

May the 4th be with you!

May_the_4th_Star_Wars

In a galaxy far far away
To the dark side you may stray
Because you just wanted a holiday
A little weekend escape
With the stormtroopers parade
Just stay in the shade

But after hanging out with Vader
He would surely be the traitor
Hogging all the toilet paper
And sending you to meet your maker
You realized sooner or later
…It was time to flee this theatre

Back on track with team Yoda, 
Or these days, even Baby Yoda
I may be missing the scotch and soda

Laying lazily on a soft sofa
But soon it will be time for yoga
And later on TV some Oprah
Who said I could not fill my quota!

Happy Star Wars day to one and all!
And may the Force be with you, always!

It’s May Day!

“The First of May. also Labour Day, a day filled with noise and balloons?” Gun Roswell

“May Day! May Day!”

The clock blared
As the alarm went off
I woke up with a scoff

“What the F…!”

As this, was supposed to be my day off!

Clearing my throat, with a cough
I quickly got up, in a huff and a puff
Waking, this early in the morning, was tough

I looked at the clock on the wall
Figuring some way, to stall
But the only option, was my ass outside to haul

First view from the window
Did my foggy mind blow
As I rubbed my eyes, little did I know
The only thing I would see, was more snow

What the hell was going on?
I thought May was summer’s dawn
But this plan has one big flaw
The winter has raised its ugly claw

It must have been because of the weather
My alarm clock had made this error
Waking me up early, knowing
I only, could this task endeavour

So now, it was up to me
The land and air rid of the freeze
To bring forth the sunshine and warm breeze
Just had to figure out, how this task to seize!

If I only had powers of magic
I would just pull out some gimmick
But unfortunately, my witchery has a limit

So, for now, I just taped on an image
Onto the window with a view quite idyllic
A summery green meadow,
The warmer weathers to mimic

Easter Time is upon!

It’s that time of the spring, the seasonal pairing of the eggs and things!” Gun Roswell

After all the painted eggs and faces
The little witch nervously paces
Out into the wide world
She needs to fly like a bird

Because
For now
Easter time
Is just to follow!
And the witches’ brooms
Cannot be hollow!

A very Happy New Year of 2026!!!

“It is that time again, to turn a new leaf in life” Gun Roswell

Colourful burst of noise filled blinding light
Filling the darkened day, soon turning into a night
The clocks, on the walls, and everywhere, are quickly churning
As the long awaited coming of a new year starts slowly turning
Time itself stopping, for a blink one an eye
As all the wishes and hopes, for a better life
Fill the airways, from every which possible way
Letting go of the passing year and all its fear
Because now looking forward, is a reward
Of this special midnight, which will make everything alright

Happy New Year’s Ever of 2026!!!

“Another year spent, where I’ve accomplished absolutely nothing” Gun Roswell


Bread and Circuses
For any and all purposes
Lights and loud fireworks
Maybe with some other quirks?

No time to waste
It is after all the time to celebrate
So, let us all unite
Leave our differences aside

As the New Year
We all hail
Even if following
A different trail

The past and present
Already having been spent
And so towards the future
From now on end
We will all ascend
