In Memoriam Roger Rees 1944-2015

“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again” Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby

Homage to Roger Rees

Quite the Shakespearean
Sometimes even a villain
Well versed with the classics
Performing them with magic
You could pull off Dickens
Off came the mittens
When venturing into science fiction
Causing quite an addiction
For watching certain shows
Always keeping us on our toes
Of what one might expect
You had that affect
But for now, we will see you in re-runs
Watching our most favourite ones
For myself the one is and always will be
Nicolas Nickleby

Rest in peace
Sweet prince
Roger Rees

In Memory of the Finnish Summer 2015

RIP FINNISH SUMMER 3.-5.7.2015

“People take pictures of the Summer, just in case someone thought they had missed it, and to proved that it really existed” Ray Davies

In Memory of the Finnish Summer 2015

Oh what a bummer
When the finnish summer
Died a quick death
Before we could catch a breath
You stayed here for three days
And inspired us in so many ways
You did not go quietly into that good night
But put up a good fight
With a thunder and heavy rain
You tried to ease our pain
Rest in peace our dearest one
Maybe next year we’ll have some fun
When once more
You will be reborn

Wonder Women

An homage to a some of the women I admire

“In every woman there is a Queen. Speak to the Queen and the Queen will answer” Norwegian Proverb

Wonder Women

Feminism?
Never mind the ‘ism’
I’m in it for the idealism

Girl power
Female power
Human power

Heroins
Of different eras
Those afraid
May call you chimeras

Hell raisers
Trailblazers
Your wisdom and insight
Carrying the plight
For those
Who could not fight

Women of power
Hardly the cowards
Quite the women
Of wonder

Sisu, Sauna and Koskenkorva (Ode to Finns)

” When in Rome, do as the Romans do”

Sisu, Sauna and Koskenkorva (Ode to Finns)

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

“It’s worked so far but we’re not off yet!” Leonard McCoy

La Gun

Just call the Gun
When you need things done
She’ll run
Be there, faster than
The speed of light travel can
Put out, all the fire
Get you out, from the dire!

After all
She is doll
La Gun, with the fastest bullets

And the pun was intended!

“An Apple a day keeps the PC away” Gun Roswell

Ode to My Mac(intosh)

You let out a hum
As I turn you on
I am Flushing
As I am pushing
Your on switch

You light up
Without amok
It’s electric
Almost magnetic
I feel the itch
I am ecstatic

Cannot wait
As you bait
To touch all
Your buttons

Like a glutton
I will call
For you to deliver
As I wait and shiver
Reaching every height
Through your interface
The globe
To integrate

Guess it was love
At first byte

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

Slow down
Listen
To the world
Around
Forget
That strife
Just Enjoy
Without a ploy
The simple pleasures,
Purest treasures
Of life

A cup of tea,
Plain and simple
Easy as
Your A, B, C
Soon you’ll see
A dimple
On your cheek
Will sneak

Breathe in
Breathe out
Relinquish
All doubt
Nothing to it
You can do it
Relax a while
It is no guile

Soon enough
The moment
That should have
Forever lasted
Has passed
You are back
On track

Remembering,
Hoping
The moments
Between now
And running out
To the
wide open
Would last
Longer than
A token

“May the force be with you”

Ode to Darth Raydor

It is
A no-brainer
That

Sharon Raydor

Is
A crusader
A trader
A saviour
Even
An entertainer

In a
Major
Crime

No failures
Will she
Tolerate
Try not to
Frustrate
Or irritate
She won’t
Hesitate
To throw you
In the brig

If she won’t
Get her way
There will be
Hell to pay

Still sassy
Quite classy
Stiletto heels
To many
Appeals

Her motto
In legato
Always is
With a bliss

I must go
First

raydor
