“I didn’t know my own strength” Saara Aalto
Homage to Saara Aalto
Saara, Saara, Saara Aalto
Singing in bass or alto
From the country of reindeer
With the voice of an angel
You won our hearts
You killed in the charts
You are a true master
Of your talent and art!

“I Look Fuckin’ Cool” – Adore Delano & Alaska Thunderfuck
A Wanna-be Drag Queen
There is just something
to be said
About a man
in a dress
Not one hair
in a mess
Everyone staring
at big earrings
A Sculpted body
and lean legs
The woman embodies
A honey trap?
but into the spiders webs
Sickening
Gorgeous
Bickering
Flawless
Fabulous
Marvelous
Out of this world
Down the runway they swirled
Looking fucking cool
All we do is drool
You better work
With your lips in a smirk
It’s just a quirk
Don’t let it irk
I may be a woman
Must come clean
Maybe an omen
But I’m a wanna-be drag queen
“It’s not personal, It’s just drag” – Alyssa Edwards

“Providing I can put one foot in front of the other, I will continue to act.”
Dame Angela Lansbury
Happy 91st Birthday Dame Angela Lansbury
Our Same of Dames
Surely, even the name explains
Angel, Angela
Dame Angela
You may be siting algebra
Or even the Magna Carta
Your voice a lullaby
Your presence divine
Live Long and Prosper
Dame Angela!

“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury
Blue Eyes
She’s got grace and style
And to top it, a great smile
Oh those blue eyes
Could light up the skies
Her face most adorable
Her talent undeniable
Like the whirlwind
Still hard at working
A Queen without a crown
A Dame with a gown
She is the belle of the ball
So say we all
Now and for ever more
Celebrating World Animal Day
“The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated” Mahatma Gandhi
World Animal Day, 4th of October
What would the world be
Without a cat, elephant or a bee
As far as the eye can see
Birds sitting in the trees
Join in and celebrate
All creatures great and small
They have given us much more
Than anyone can elaborate

“I’m always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play” Walter Koenig
Live Long and Prosper Walter!
“It was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad”
“We are looking for the Nuclear Wessels in Alameda”
Actor, writer
Director, teacher
Chekov on Star Trek
Who could forget
That boyish charm
And an accent of Russian
Done with such passion
Taking us by storm
Bester on Babylon 5
A character done with style
Telepath and an antagonist
Quite the opportunist
Stirring up the soup
Better watch out for a coup
Whether on film or stage
Even fan productions made
You always deliver
Like a true winner
Leaving us in awe
And wanting for more
An homage to Star Trek, the original series
"Live Long and Prosper"
Star Trek: Happy 50th Anniversary!
Call it campy or even quirky
Call it the wagon train in space
All the familiar cardboard sets
And the best written scripts
Sci-fi, entertainment and humanity
All at their very best in the same place
This is the most a TV show gets
Don’t tell me, you are not gripped
Watching re-runs
With your best chums
What could be more fun
Maybe sitting out in the sun?
But, we are Trekkers
Nerds, geeks and well, trekkers
Looking up to the stars
Daring to go very far
Well, at least, in our imagination
During the syndication
With our favourite television show
To which much we owe
Live Long and Prosper Star Trek!
