“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller
Acropolis, Athens
Basking in the sun
Athens, Acropolis
A place of fun
A place of knowledge

“I don’t generally like running.
I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench”
Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf
Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!
Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
The Round House
Round and round we go
Merrily, merrily, following the flow
Around the round house
Me, you and even the mouse
There is no end
There is no beginning
Just a round circle
For us to encircle
Wasting our time
And that is just fine
It just cost one dime!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
The Round House
Hiding in the background
Behind the frozen playground
The house ever so round…
Ha!, now you are found!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
The Round House
In the deepest of winter
Reflected palm trees from the printer
Or maybe on the frozen river
Oh, just remove the splinter!
Join the venture
And into the round house enter
You can’t miss it
It’s right in the city centre!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
The Round House
Life
In a round house
Me, and my spouse
With our pet mouse
Come on, step inside
And browse!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Entry and Exit Ways
A mystery wooden door
Right on the second floor
If you open it, you may score
Or
It may leave you, wanting more

Finnish proverb
Towers
The mighty towers of Helsinki
They do empower this little city
Look up, and you’ll fell giddy
Climb up, and you’ll get dizzy

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Entry and Exit Ways
You must choose:
Win or loose
To die in your boots
And even pray, for Zeus
Two entry ways
Before you join the maze
And your enemy face
Be careful always
Follow the hallways
This may take days
There will be chase
Even empty space
Before the winner of the race
Can fame and fortune, embrace

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Entry and Exit Ways
The Niemelä family
Wrote their name permanently
On top of the door way
Just to scare people away
