But of course
And we do until
We are dropping!
But,
Coffee first!

People of all Sorts

helsinki-13

The lady with her dog
Was looking for a grog
The taxi had already gone
So she decided to sit on the log

The dude is a statue
He was quite the virtue
Now with a seagull
He seems a little dull

Market Square

“Fresh fish,
Get you fresh fish here,
Catch of today
On your plate won’t stay!”

“Sausages,
Fresh boiled sausages
Made from reindeer
Don’t worry dear
Rudolf not included!”

“I-iice cream,
Come and get some i-iice cream,
Cold and cooling
If you need the smoothing!”

A slow boat to Sweden
Or a catamaran to Tallinn
If you are looking for Eden
Well, maybe
But you better be all in!

Little convertible
You are so flexible
And very transportable
But even still
The genuine article

A bike is a bike
Of course, of course!

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

When crossing the street
Better be quick on your feet
The bikerettes are on the move
In their vehicles of blue
With wheels of two
