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

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

Come on Knock on Our Door!
“Come and knock on our door… (Come and knock on our door)
We’ve been waiting for you…. (We’ve been waiting for you)
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,
Three’s company too.”
Three’s Company theme song

A rocky road
Into the court yard flowed

Thirsty
A drinking well
Today’s biggest sell
The passersby do tell
Or even broadcast it
On your cell!
Quench your thirst
The keeper reimburse
But first:
Wash your hands!

The Yellow House
The old yellow house
Too big for a mouse
But maybe a fit
For you and your spouse

Cafe
Picking up a tray
For a while
Planning to stay
In this cozy
Family style cafe

Triptych
Not saving any ink
Painted pink
The house stands tall
Winter, Spring, Summer and fall
In the harbour
From port to starboard

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Hurry, reserve that Seat!
“Hurry, hurry!
Someone will steal
That cool seat
And we’ll be left standing
On our two feet!”

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Good Seats come in Threes!
They say
Good things
Don’t grow on trees
But some things
Come in threes
And make great seats
