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

Chillin’


“Some slang?” Gun Roswell

On this particular trip

I really wanted to ’trip’

To see all the great sights

Since I landed from the flight

But now its cold and dreary

Would not want to go near the rain

Just hang out in my room

Sip some wine to get rid of the gloom

So why not just get chillin’

That ain’t to be illin’

If one day I do rest

I can do more on the next

Trip to this very place

Heck everything always stays

The same

Cant touch this

“Something about buttons?” Gun Roswell

The button, with a stop sign

Cant touch this

The red dress, with pearls

Cant wear it

The chocolate cake in the freezer

Cant eat it

No, no, no,

Access denied

Danger,

Do not walk

Feel the negative

Feel the denial

Hell

I will do them all!

a whole week?

“Yeah, time really does fly, or simply days?” Gun Roswell

so, sunday

which means tomorrow monday

then tuesday

after that, wednesday

then another thursday

after that, thank gooddness friday

weekend begins with saturday

then we’ll back in sunday

oh, how time flies…

Broken Internet

“Ain’t nuttin so broke it can’t be fixed?” Gun Roswell

Today, I broke the internet

I also deleted my whole weeks work

Was it done with malice and intent

Or just in a hurried haste

Because i felt my time had gone to waste

Feeling like a jerk

This definitely was not a perk

No leisure time for me

Just because from all the files i am freed

Several hours later

I have become an IT hater

Because in the olden days

You just laid your waste

Into a tin can

Which no one ever scanned

And the written paper

Despite a few wrinkles

Easily recovered, that simple?

So now, I have the night

Spend in a child’s fright

Will my work ever be completely saved?

Or all the effort in waste laid?

That slow blue moment

“It’s going to be night again, as the blues descends over the land” Gun Roswell

right before the darkness descends

in a magical time nature spends

it always seems such a surprise

when the blue moment arrives

the ambience setting the hue

in the coolest colour of blue

not quite dark

not quite light

the land and sky merging

into the blue surging

time coming to a stall

calming one and all

but only for a moment

before the night descends

That special summer’s feeling

“Yep, it’s summer!” Gun Roswell 

Early morning

Sun barely yawning 

It’s light outside 

Despite the early hours time

The cooling breeze

But not enough to make you freeze

The air misty

The clouds soft and twisted 

Moon going to sleep

The ocean dark and deep

A solitary bird shrieking

Possibly a worm seeking

Few people on their way to work 

Me on me leisure time, lips on a smirk

Finally shedding the heavy winter coat 

Feeling light, relaxed, without a load 

Hotter than hell?


“Soon it will be winter again?” Gun Roswell

The summer finally came after a long wait

A dark and cold winter taunted us long after its expiration date

Minus degrees, snow, ice and sleet

Wondering what we did to deserve this shit

So, finally, blue skies, high as the eagle flies, warmth and happiness, without the snappiness

Or so you would think, because it finally sank in, there is a spin:

It’s hotter than hell, like some daemons spell

The pavement is melting, the walls are welting , I am yelling

Enough, now on with the rain, this warm, it’s making my brain pain

A cool breeze there is not, only hot hot hot

Dry is the grass, dry is the river, dry is my mouth, and I ain’t even a singer

So give the zinger and pour some water, on to this poor land under and its daughter

They say I should not complain, just glad remain

For soon the summer is over and shovelling snow over the shoulder

Is the most dumb task you can do, yelling summer could not be here too soon

But I a built for a climate cold, and this warming up I really getting too old

Summer Vibes are here!

“Summer is definitely still here, as per proof, the hot weather, skimpy outfits and reddish sunburns, which really do hurt! And those, are just few of the vibes, of the summer’s jive!“ Gun Roswell

Summer is always such a special time for most of us anyway. As it comes by every now and again. And while summer only lasts for a brief moment in time. Perhaps it is just fine. As then, it is much more easy to admire. All that it is. to worship the plentitude of nature as it hits. Out of the blue, all green, yellow and well, blue too. Take it all in, let it grab your heart and then you too can sing. As soon enough, the rough of the upon coming fall. Followed only by the cold and harsh of winter stalls, all the time in the world. While seemingly lasting forever. But will make the Summer Time, feel so much more better.

Swimming Day!

“Pool or open seas, it’s all good for swimming!” Gun Roswell

Swimming
All thoughts dimming
Relaxing
Nothing perplexing
Mind
Finally at rest
Unwind
Is the best
Turquoise
Filling the view
Disguise
All feelings of blue
