An homage to Mothers everywhere: Happy Mother’s Day!
Omistettu kaikille Äideille, erityisesti Mammalle!
“Äidit ovat vaistomaisia filosofeja” Harriet Beecher Stowe
Äiti
Voimanainen
Erilainen
Ei elämäsi
Helponlainen
Selviytyjä
On yhtä hyvä
Kuin kylvetty
Viisauden jyvä
Nimesi
Mukanani
Kannan ikäni
Äiti
An homage to Mothers everywhere: Happy Mother’s Day!
“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it” Mark Twain
Mom
A Superhero
Without a cape
A villain
Without a bait
You may not
Be perfect
Or even a saint
A vision of Madonna
I wouldn’t paint
Often
I neglect
To tell you
Never a zero
Always my hero
My go to
Mom
Love you Mom!

“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

“I think people think I’m accessible. I’m never treated as a star, either by fans or other actors, and I like it like that. I don’t get the star treatment. I think that means I’m a good actor. They acknowledge me as a human being, and to me, that’s invaluable, because that’s exactly what I am!” Kate Mulgrew
Captain, My Captain; A Very Happy Birthday, Kate Mulgrew!
Legendary
Iconic
Beloved
Ageless
Extraordinary
Special
Remarkable
Fantastic
Captivating
Enchanting
Fascinating
Unforgettable
Many happy returns; Our Captain, Kate Mulgrew!

“Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom” Queen Elizabeth II
Live Long and Prosper Queen Elizabeth II
Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty three years
– Surely worth some cheers
You’re part of the folk
Even cracked a few jokes
You got street smarts
And certainly won our hearts
Pink, purple or blue
To name but a few
The colours like your spirit
Would inspire many lyrics
Wishes for
Many more
Years of reign
Hear our hail:
Long Live the Queen,
And surely and sincerely
A very happy 90th birthday!

For today we celebrate
No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero
Hip hip hooray!
Happy 79th birthday
Captain Sulu aka George Takei!
