“My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August, but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July” Rick Bass

Happy 55th Birthday to My Better Half

Nineteen
Sixty-one
A year filled
With lots of fun
Brought
Forth
A July’s child
Quit the wild
Born with
The biggest smile

This July
All grown up
But at heart
Still
A young pup
Ready to fly
High as the sky
But never without
That wide smile

“A couple of years ago, I was asked, ‘How would you like to be remembered?’ And my answer was ‘That I was very funny.’” Sir Patrick Stewart

Happy Birthday Sir Patrick!

Main Pat Stew

Totally charming
Maybe even utterly harming
When you make us laugh
And make us cry
With a voice like that
Sir Pat in a hat
Canny as a cat
Who could resist
Of being kissed
By a great fellow
You’re hell of’
An actor, a Captain and a King
And even able to sing

                                 patrictstewart 3  Patrick-Stewart 2

Wishing you a merry, happy and utterly great Birthday
And as the cliche goes, if I may

Live Long And Prosper
Oh, Captain of Captains!

Freakish Felines for Caturday

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Freakish Felines for Caturday

Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall
Hypnotized
By those wide eyes
The limber steps
Command respect
You can never own them
Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles

An homage to the absolutely hilarious TV comedy; Absolutely Fabulous,
starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley

featured


”Darling, if you want to talk bollocks and discover the meaning of life, you’re better off downing a bottle of whiskey. At least that way, you’re unconscious by the time you start to take yourself seriously.” Patsy

Absolutely Fabulous

Absolutely fabulous laughs
Absolutely fabulous cast
Absolutely fabulous show
I watched it several times or more
So, I really should know!

From a fan’s point of view
Of us, there are quite a few!
And we all are
Utterly sensational
Positively radiant
Happily glorious
And Abso-freaking-lutely
Fabulous too

Whether a surfer dude
Or a cop on the street
He is never rude
Just moving with the beat

A joyride on the bike
An adventure or a hike
This is the game plan,

Happy Midsummer to One and All

Posted in celebration of Midsummer and homage to Finns

Midsummer may not be a religious holiday, but it surely is a religion for us Finns 😉

” When in Rome, do as the Romans do” 

(Or in this case Helsinki, Oulu, Rovaniemi, Turku, Tampere, Porvoo or basically any Finnish town or village!!!)

Sisu, Sauna and Koskenkorva (Ode to Finns)

Finns, what a nationality
We have quite the ability
To enjoy ourselves
With life’s simple little things

Sauna, heated to at least eighty degrees
Surely hot enough to melt any cheese
Beating each other with branches of birch
Almost as purifying as absolution in a church

Sisu, the spunk, guts and percistence
We have plenty of through out our existance
Rally drivers, Nokia, Linux and the rest
We only deliver the best

Koskenkorva, pure spirit made out of barley
After drinking, don’t ride your Harley
The Swedes may prefer their Vodka
But for the Finns, it’s pure dogma

We have lakes and forrests in abundance
So please come and join us
For a visit in the green of nature
It won’t leave you denatured

Open Sesame

Abracadabra!
How well do you know your algebra?
It is as easy as one, two, three
Even before you can boot your PC
The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said

For Caturday

Cats, cats, cats
I see a lots of cats
Cats over there
And cats over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere

Oh, look at the pretty cat
In the window there
What window, where?
Over there, over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere

“I can’t imagine a day without coffee. I can’t imagine!” Howard Schultz

Monday with(out) Coffee

What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy

It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate

Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break

“Come to the dark side, we have coffee”

Not without my Coffee

I freely admit it
I am addicted
To the finest organic suspension 
One of the greatest inventions

Coffee

If gets me up in the morning
So read this  forewarning
To save yourself from scorning
Do not get between me and my 

Coffee

If you want your day
To be inventive and stay
On top of the world
Life delightfully twirled

Coffee

Take my advice
Don’t think twice
Pour yourself a cup of java
It beats the hell out of guava

Coffee

Your fellow human kind
Never looked so fine
The world filled with love
If everyone joined in a cup of

Coffee
