Still Reigning: Queen Elizabeth II

qe-1

Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty five years
– Surely worth some cheers

You’re part of the folk
Even cracked a few jokes
You got street smarts
And certainly won our hearts

Pink, purple or blue
To name but a few
The colours like your spirit
Would inspire many lyrics

Wishes for
Many more
Years of reign
Hear our hail:

Long Live the Queen!

A voice like thunder
Presence filled with wonder
From pre-med
On to the stage
Many a great characters
Taking us into adventures
But lucky were us nerds
When the voice of Darth Vader we heard
Other than that?
Well, of course, many happy returns!

Absolutely fabulous
Absolutely gorgeous
Absolutely hilarious
Absolutely flawless

Laughter is eternal
Completely universal
If I could not laugh
I would be terminal

Thanks for everything so far Ms. Betty
Throwing your way some confetti
What ever more you can deliver
I am totally ready!
Many happy returns,
Betty!

Happy Birthday to Nichelle Nichols

From science fiction
To science fact
From Lady Actress
To Lady Astronaut

A many of myths
You have broken
A multitude of gifts
And truly outspoken

An eternal beauty
With a sense of duty
A voice like an angel
With an attitude of the devil 😉

Uhura, Nichelle
We’re so very glad
Onto our screens you fell
Without you we’d be sad

This might sound a cliche
Live Long and Prosper!

Hyvää Syntymäpäivää Mamma!

Posted in Celebration: Photography, Poetry and Humour (Finnish version)

“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!”

Happy Birthday to Our Mom!

“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!

“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
There in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia”

lucia-1899

Sankta Lucia

The bearer of light
For the future to shine bright
With all her might
Like the shining white knight
Her sword will smite
All the anger and spite
The world to rewrite
Without war or fight

Saara, Saara, Saara Aalto
Singing in bass or alto
From the country of reindeer
With the voice of an angel
You won our hearts
You killed in the charts
You are a true master
Of your talent and art!
