Super Woman, Happy International Women’s Day!

“A girl should be two things: Who and what she wants.” –Coco Chanel

Super Woman

Let’s rebuild her to a

Bigger
Better
Faster
Stronger
Bolder

Better than she was before
Someone truly to be adored
A extraordinary superhuman
An absolute wonder woman

We have the technology
Never mind the theology
Using finest neurology
Without a doubt or apology

To be

Smarter
Taller
Chipper
Funniera
Longer…
“Oh, wait just a minute!”

“What’s wrong?”

“We don’t have enough power!”

“We don’t?”

“No, we used it all to juice up the last superwoman wannabe.”

“OK, patch her up then and send her on her way!”

“Next!”

“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

“It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.”
― George Takei

Live Long and Prosper George Takei!

Oh my!
How time flies
When you are having fun
Keep the phasers on stun

No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero

Hip hip hooray!
Happy 80th birthday
Captain Sulu aka George Takei!

“It’s only a television show”
– Maybe so, but it got me through the best of times and surely through the worst of times

“Vulcan honours us with your presence. We come to serve”
– Mr Spock had me at hello

“Never meet your heroes”
– Maybe true, but this particular hero I will regret not meeting for the rest of my life

“These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.”
– And I will keep watching until such time they put me out to pasture.

“I live right in front of my daughter.
I have a little house right in front of her because
I can stay in touch. It’s like a little commune,
and it’s very nice, because you can be close.
I can see my granddaughter.
I live very close to my brother, too, and my son.
We’re a very close family”
Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds

She had grace
She had style
A comedic sense
Which made us smile

A true star
Shining, now and forever
For us fans near and far

RIP Carrie Fisher

main-featured

Actress, writer, a super hero
Your delicate frame, reminiscent of a sparrow
In your mind a giant, a role model for tomorrow
You played a princess on the screen
For us, you’ll be, the truest of royalty ever seen

May the Force be With You…Always.

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!

Posted in Celebration: Photography, Poetry and Humour

“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!
