“Something about the city centre so cool in the midst of cold winter….” Gun Roswell
A trip to the City Centre
Can be an extreme adventure
For a ‘gal from the suburbs
Can easily get into trouble
With many a temptations
Luring in the odd location
“Good people go to heaven, but bad people go to Hell-sinki?” Gun Roswell
The notorious part of the town
Clad in a glorious white gown
Don’t let the history fool you
Sit down on a bench for the view
Beautiful in summer or winter
No longer a sore splinter
Of the great city of Helsinki
“The snowy roads, can be fun, but then again, dragging heavy bags from the store, to your home, can be everything else but fun!” Gun Roswell
Up the slippery street
The street side none too wide, but leading towards the home, which is waiting nice and warm after a day of slaving at work and then getting yourself to the market place for some dessert, well, more than that really as the bags are filled with items needed for the everyday life, just in case, the weather might turn and then, the only thing was to stay at home and churn. But today, while the snow fall had lasted a while and those blasted service people did not bring on a smile as the plowing had been left undone and well, hauling yourself and the big and heavy bags up the hill was everything else but the winter’s fun seen in the images from before, rather this one, was more than a simple chore. Hauling and heaving, getting some rest in between, even if the trip is not really that long, it seems like a mountain tall, to be conquered in the middle of the storm. But finally getting there, opening the door to the inviting and warm, putting away the produce from the bags, and then, it is time for a well deserved snack!

“There are some days when I think
I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction”
Salvador Dali
Overdose
It was just a simple overdose
A mass of a size of bordering gross
They should have just given hit me with a hose
Burning up was oh so very close…
The final diagnose:
Too much sun on a scorching day
Will not keep the nurses or doctors away

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself,
than be crowded on a velvet cushion”
Henry David Thoreau
Crowded
Two is a company
Three is huge a crowd
Four is just lucky
Five or more is very loud
Feeling crowded
Sometimes compounded
Oh for crying out loud
This really is a crowd!

“If you go anywhere,
even paradise,
you will miss your home”
Malala Yousafzai
Paradise Found
It was just covered with frost
In the end of a very long autumn
This was what it cost
To get back from the bottom
Paradise,
It was never lost
It was, just forgotten

“You can never have too many pairs of shoes!”
Gun Roswell
Shoes on the Side
Shoes, are the essence of life
(it’s like breathing in and breathing out)
Shoes, will get you through a fight
(especially if you’re wearing stilettos)
Shoes, are never unkind
(unless you are breaking in a new pair! just remember to have band aid to spare!)
Shoes, will help you unwind
(those comfy old ones, you just did not dare to throw away)
Shoes, are always on my mind
(I wear them, I buy them, I store them, I admire them…)
Shoes, will alternately save mankind
(well it could not hurt if the world leaders talked about their new shiny shoes instead of all the nasty things that are going on, could it now!)
If you don’t have any shoes
Then snooze, you loose!

“What good is the warmth of summer,
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck
Closed for Summer
The sign stated boldly:
“Closed for summer”
Oh, what an unexpected bummer!
And here, I rented this hummer
To roam around the countryside
In a built up haze of wonder!
Pacing around the yard
Knowing full well I could not get far
A smile upon my face
Yes, this is the place
I would make my case
“What if I just break in?
Surely, that would not be a great sin?
After squatting for a week or two,
Just leave a kind thank you note and a payment too?
That would teach them a lesson
Not with the tourist of summer to be messin'”
“Closed for summer my derrière!
From now on, this summer just got merrier!”
