“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
…And Ordinary Dwellings
It may be a drawing
A piece of street graffiti
But if you are ready for exploring
In the warmth of Tahiti
Give this little town a chance
Who knows, maybe a glance
Will turn into a permanent stance!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
…And Ordinary Dwellings
Houses, seemingly ordinary
But inside, quit extraordinary
Side by side, in the town square
A common history, do they all share
Equally basking, in the sun’s glare

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
…And Ordinary Dwellings
Statues, trams and squares
A water fountain with stairs
It’s the centre of the city
By the waters ever so pretty
Therefore, nothing else compares!

Capital Buildings…
The Helsinki Cathedral
Some could say a sequel
But for the city dwellers
This, is the best seller
And a building nothing will equal

Finnish proverb
World Wide Wednesday in Finland
The Finnish Dream
A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight

“Helsinki isn’t all that bad.
It’s a very nice city,
and it’s cold really only in wintertime”
Linus Torvalds
World Wide Wednesday in Finland
At the Market Square
The hustle and bustle
The use of the rustle
All the customers
Lurking about this summer
The Market Square
The biggest fair
This side of town

Statuesque
Hallelujah:
The waters will flow right through ‘ya!
Keep bringing us the tuna
And we’ll sing a watery tune for ‘ya!

Finnish proverb
World Wide Wednesday in Finland
Statuesque
A sculpted lady
Whom some call shady
Even a little crazy
But when it’s May Day
She’ll get her dues paid
A cap on her head
And all the joy to spread

World Wide Wednesday in Finland
At the Market Square
The jewel of the crown
Bursting with life
Peacefully, without a strife
Roaming the stands
Even if not a fan
You may enjoy the ambiance
So come on down and take chance
Even if it rains
No worries, the stains
Will not remain!
