“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years.” Frank Lampard

Seat Sunday in Kos Island (One)

All in blue and white
As the principal
Traditional,
But of course
And definitely
Nothing by the Norse

A restaurant or bar
Always near
Never far
When in Greece
No need to sneeze
Because it’s always
Warm and bright
And you may sit
Almost, where ever
You like

Enjoy a meal
With something strong
Or even light
You’re on an island
Time for some smiling
After all
When in Greece!

Scenic

“Welcome to Suomenlinna!
No, this is not Vienna
Or even Sienna!
What you found,
While looking around
Is this little fortress
On this island gorgeous
Near the Helsinki city
So get busy
Enjoy our style
And stay a while!”

On the frenemy

Anchors Aweigh!

“Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home”

Traditional navy song

An industrial building
Perfect,
Without the gilding
Solid rock
The only one
Of its kind
In this block
