“Good things come in small sizes”

Ode to My Little Car

It was a tiny little thing
Not the prettiest of the lot
The name had a soft ring
Almost like a plot

Fiesta…
Siesta…

Round and round in paces
Could see the look on others faces
‘Surely that is not the car to buy’
‘To her money she would kiss goodbye’

Trying it on for size I did
Smiling like a little kid
Spite what others may have though
This car was surely bought

It wasn’t quite what expected
Less is not more, had to respect it

Tempted by a car with muscle
The salesman tried to hustle
Something made me turn to look
The little car had gotten me hooked

Back and forth I went
Trying not to get bent
It was calling me I could hear
Trying hard not to get near

But
Fear not
Reason won in the end

After all
The muscle car was too tall
And lets face it
I got hitched

The tiny car was kin
All is well in the end

Lesson learned: Think big, buy small!

Ä.I.T.I (Hyvää Äitienpäivää!)

An homage to Mothers everywhere: Happy Mother’s Day!
Omistettu kaikille Äideille, erityisesti Mammalle!

“Äidit ovat vaistomaisia filosofeja” Harriet Beecher Stowe

Äiti

Voimanainen
Erilainen
Ei elämäsi
Helponlainen

Selviytyjä
On yhtä hyvä
Kuin kylvetty
Viisauden jyvä

Nimesi
Mukanani
Kannan ikäni

Mom

A Superhero
Without a cape
A villain
Without a bait

You may not
Be perfect
Or even a saint
A vision of Madonna
I wouldn’t paint

Often
I neglect
To tell you
Never a zero
Always my hero
My go to

Mom

Love you Mom!

“I’m a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character” – Alfred Hitchcock

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, and a Writer

Looking into
A writers mind
You may phew
On what you find

Look in,
Carefully

Surprisingly
Lurking
Emerging

A

Tinker, Tailor,
Soldier, Sailor,
Rich Man, Poor Man,
Beggar Man, Thief

Peeping Tom, Stalker
Pervert, Prude 
Sister, Brother
Loud Mouth, Mute

A

Antagonist
Protagonist
Killer, Saviour
Bad behaviour?

Winner, Looser
Coward, Hero
Or simply a Zero?

Storyteller, Liar
Truth teller, Denier

A questionable character?
Or just a clever Actor?
Psychopath,
Or, on a Path?

Writer, Politician, or a Crook?
Did I get you hooked?

May the 4th be with you!

“When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.” Yoda

May the 4th be with you!

In a galaxy far far away
To the dark side you may stray
Because you just wanted a holiday
A little weekend escape
With the stormtroopers parade
Just stay in the shade

But after hanging out with Vader
He would surely be the traitor
Hogging all the toilet paper
And sending you to meet your maker
You realized sooner or later
…It was time to flee this theatre

Back on track with team Yoda
I may be missing the scotch and soda
Laying lazily on a soft sofa
But soon it will be time for yoga
And later on TV some Oprah
Who said I could not fill my quota!

Happy Star Wars day to one and all!

David Suchet as Hercule Poirot

“I’m never bored, never ever bored. If I’ve got a day off I’ll sit in a cafe and watch and observe. I’m a great observer” David Suchet

Happy Birthday to David Suchet aka Hercule Poirot

Whether Hercule Poirot
Or a damsel in a dress

Accompanied by his charm no less
Even on the Orient Express

Looking forward to many more plays
And wishing the happiest of Birthdays

“Ma’am is acceptable in a crunch, but I prefer Captain” Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager

Captain, My Captain

Hair in a bun
Phaser on stun
Cool on the outside
Passionate on the inside
Charging off to battle
Borg, Hirogen, Kazon no matter
The enemy
She can be a frenemy
To get the job done
So pick up your gun
And follow her to hell and back
Pick up the slack
In your action be fair and square
And avoid the death glare
Both fierce and delightful
Quite a handfull
Full of action
She is our Captain

“I think people think I’m accessible. I’m never treated as a star, either by fans or other actors, and I like it like that. I don’t get the star treatment. I think that means I’m a good actor. They acknowledge me as a human being, and to me, that’s invaluable, because that’s exactly what I am!” Kate Mulgrew

Captain, My Captain; A Very Happy Birthday, Kate Mulgrew!

Legendary
Iconic
Beloved
Ageless

Extraordinary
Special
Remarkable
Fantastic

Captivating
Enchanting
Fascinating
Unforgettable

Many happy returns; Our Captain, Kate Mulgrew!
