“Everyday life is like programming, I guess.
If you love something you can put beauty into it”
Donald Knuth

Cloudy, With Low Chance of Rain

Sometimes,
When it shines
It may also rain
In the skies
Onto the plane

You see,
It may be,
That the gods dined
Spilled some wine
Despite the weather fine
Not out of spite
Or us to smite
But just because the bright
Of the sunlight
Hit their eyes
The hand slipped
The chalice tipped
And the damage
Was done

Instead of whining
Of the gods’ fine dining
Just stand outside
With your mouth wide
And enjoy
The nature’s nectar
Maybe,
With a piece of cheddar
In this very fine
Weather

Ripples

When it comes to you,
I am quite predictive
And yes,
Utterly and deeply committed
Even though,
I may feel a little conflicted

I know,
I am very addicted
Sometimes,
To the point of wicked
But only you,
My rippling dark brown liquid
Can make me
Totally uplifted

Which Way?

Which Way?

Should I have stayed,
Or should I have gone?

Which way was up,
Which way did the flow go?

Did I make the right turn,
When I should have taken left?

Was it a mistake,
Or was the end justified by the means?
Much may be at stake
Or so it usually seems

Did I read the sign correctly,
Or maybe,
It was just elementary?

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Dudes a-standing

Proud of being green
As in front of this white house I am seen
I try not lean
Because I am the dude a-standing
Trying hard not onto the ground a-landing

“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

What on Earth! (four)

“Let’s celebrate this planet on which we live!”

What on Earth!

In the deep of the forest
You’ll find something flawless:

Clear waters soaring
After the rains have stopped pouring
Lush green leaves
In the cool wind heave
Critters and crawlers
Maybe even hidden monsters
This earthly scene
Is nothing to be found in a magazine

So, let out your inner child
And step into to the great wild!
