World Wide Wednesday in Finland

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Group a-hanging

We are the tough crowd
Hanging together green and proud
We usually sing very loud
Sometimes even scaring the cows
But sometimes we just meow
Especially, if the sky turns to a cloud

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Dudes a-standing

Up high on my pedestal
I really try not to fall
But if you throw me a ball
I will down myself haul
And shoot a great goal
Faster than you can it call

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Ladies a-leaning

One lady a-leaning
Two ladies a-leaning
If I keep on going
This will turn into a song
Just bang the gong
And in a flash I will be gone…

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Ladies a-leaning

Ladies of Helsinki
Keep telling me
To put on a crown
And go down town
Soon the ugly frown
Will even make a clown
Smile:
You are now officially on file

With this seagull on my head
My wicked ideas I will spread
But if you promise to bring me bread
Another type of story will be told instead

High Voltage

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous”
Bill Moyers

High Voltage

Danger, Danger, beware
Touch it if you dare
You may end up a flare
And into the white light stare

AC/DC

“I didn’t like mundane life”
Jeanne Calment

AC/DC

Electric current
Quite transparent
Lost without it
The modern world
In chaos would hurl
In one big swirl

Phone Home?

Posted in Mundane Monday

Our daily lives are so mundane,
we get taken over by what is immediately
in front of us and we don’t see beyond that”
Benedict Cumberbatch

Phone Home?

A dialler device
From a different era
Had to suffice
Let me tell ya
An analog connection
No visual perception
No texting
Sure no sexting
Just a calling machine
The only mean
For ancient times
But oh how time flies
Now we all have
A mobile device

…And Ordinary Dwellings

A stylish display
Of this historic market hall
With wall to wall
Ye old shops
Where ever you stop
When done
Sit in the sun
In any of the cafes

Capital Buildings…

The old orthodox cathedral
May seem somewhat medieval
But also quite regal
Just ask the adoring people
