“I am not getting older, just bolder and wiser, (I hope)” Gun Roswell
Happy Birthday to Me!
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

“God could not be everywhere,
and therefore he made mothers”
Rudyard Kipling
Mother of the Day
A Mother is pretty
A Mother is witty
A Mother is sometimes shitty
A Mother is all knowing
A Mother is easy going
A Mother is exploding
A Mother is loving
A Mother is giving
A Mother is bluffing
A Mother is organized
A Mother is stylized
A Mother is sometimes unwise
A Mother is, simply my Mother

“Ma’am is acceptable in a crunch, but I prefer Captain” Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager
Captain, My Captain
Hair in a bun
Phaser on stun
Cool on the outside
Passionate on the inside
Charging off to battle
Borg, Hirogen, Kazon no matter
The enemy
She can be a frenemy
To get the job done
So pick up your gun
And follow her to hell and back
Pick up the slack
In your action be fair and square
And avoid the death glare
Both fierce and delightful
Quite a handfull
Full of action
She is our Captain

“Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom” Queen Elizabeth II
Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth II
Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty three 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,
And surely and sincerely
A very happy 92nd birthday!

“Virvon, varvon tuoreeks, terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, valoisaks kevääks, lämpimäks suveks, pääsiäispyhäks ja juhannustuleks. Vitsa sulle, palkka mulle!”
Palm Sunday
Watch out
Little witches are about
When at your doorstep they enter
Make sure to bribe them like a big spender
For aches and pains and other ailments
Out the door with the witches went
If you try from the witches hide and ignore
Be prepared, for the rest of the year to be sore!

“Love myself I do”
A Heart
A heart for the humanity
A heart for the world
A heart for the animals
A heart for the hurt
A heart for the lucky ones
A heart for the charmed
A heart for my dear one
You are lots of fun
With your phasers on stun
Got me to unarm
A heart for myself
Heck, I just wanted to be heard
Good Lord, what a nerd!
A heart for all of you
And now, you know what to do
Have a happy Wednesday
Have a happy Friends Day
Hell, even have a happy Valentine’s Day!

“All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world” NICHELLE NICHOLS
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!
…And, a Merry Christmas, Xmas, and what ever you are celebrating!
May the New Year bring you happiness and health 🙂
Peace,
Gun Roswell

“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”
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
Sankta Lucia
