“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 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!

Finnish proverb

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

Statuesque

A lady, named Amanda
A lovely girl, who just wanted to have fun -ya
So keep your propaganda
Keep cool and sit on the veranda
Eat your delicious banana
And pretend, you are in Havanna!

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

The Finnish Dream

If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finn’s existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator

“We’re on a highway to Hell-sinki!”

A Trip To Helsinki City

These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee.
They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods.
They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond.
In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna,
where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat.
Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.

“The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism”
Brian May

Snow Days

Winter?
So what!
I don’t care!
I am feeling
Quite optimistic
Riding my bike
Sitting on a bench
So what if it snows
It’s almost June!

“The best seat in the house”

Snow Days 

2-a

It may be cold outside
With lots of frosted snow
But as the sun comes from its hide
You need to take it slow
Take a seat for a while
Even if it’s not your style
And simply enjoy with a smile

The sun is shining
The birds are flying
The air is frozen
This spot I’ve chosen
A seat in the sun
