Boxing Match

The gloves are on
The arena awaits you
From the illusion of winning
Your head is spinning
The chanting getting louder
You’re feeling prouder

The plan was a clean fight
No hitting below the belt
The deal fitting your own self
No more time for flight
The crowd is cheering
You are leering

At the ding of the gong
The fight is on
Dancing around
Pulling punches
No one going down
The referee announces

No one is winning

It is time
To up the ante

The gloves come off
The game now on
You start to scoff
Your mind’s set only on the con
Spitting out words of slander
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander

Hair being torn
Nails like thorns
Feeling the scorn
Scratching, screaming
Ending only in
Real blood and tearing

No one is winning

It is time
For plan C

A Quick Trip to Paris

Oh, ye old Eiffel Tower
Yes, you got all the power
Standing by the Seine, looking at you for hours


You are this town’s prettiest flower
In your eternal light us will you shower
Looking at you, we’re never sour

A Quick Trip to Paris

The Arc de Triomphe
Certainly got that oomph
In the midst of Place de l’Etoile
Still standing strong and tall
The archaic Goliath
The biggest of the giants
For us tiny mortals to see
We have come to worship thee

A Quick Trip to Paris

Sunrises and sunsets
They never down let
Remember to be quick on your steps
For days surely seem shorter
Maybe from average town, a quarter
Time certainly flies
When in Paris you have arrived

The Finnish Dream for Favourite Foto Friday

Posted in FavFotoFriday

“Do not cross the brook for water” Finnish proverb

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

A Quick Trip to Paris

Down the Avenue des Champs Elysee
An all eyes can see buffet
Watching through the camera peep hole
For all the goodies and people
Which money can or cannot buy

Early Bird catches the Sunrise

An early bird’s price
Is a gorgeous sunrise
Climbing high up in the skies
Before your very eyes

A Quick Trip to Paris

Oh Paris, Paris
I want to look at thee
With everything, I see
I don’t ever want this place to flee
For, to all the places I have the key
And now, I am feeling happy and fancy free
Oh Paris, Paris
The everlasting city

Day 7

Going, going, almost gone
Now from summer, it’s so long
But something else, will come along
When fall and then winter
Will sing their songs
