The spinning wheel
Will make the feel
Of the yester year
So hop on board
And have a beer

World Wide Wednesday in Finland
“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Seaside
A fly by
On the port side
As we wave “bye bye”
And sail away
Before we turn
Old and grey
But sooner or later
Into this place
We might yearn
The lesson learned?
You can always return!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Seaside
This, is the scenery
Which is, greeting thee
As thee arrive
And into, the port glide
Anticipation for the Daily Post (four)

“As Daddy said, life is 95 percent anticipation.” Gloria Swanson
Anticipation for the Daily Post
Whales Ahead
“Hop on
Hop off”
The seller scoffed
Waving us to board
Not knowing what was in store
Anticipation
Hesitation
Finally at sea
And nowhere to flee
The boat shook
“Oh, look!
Thar be whales here!”

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Up the River
Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Ship Ahoy!
Ship ahoy!
This is not a ploy
But the real McCoy
We even invited Floyd
And now,
We are ready to deploy
On a trip of joy!

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Lift-Off
With growing anticipation
Waiting to leave this station
Without any hesitation
Travelling across the nation
In one big celebration
But…
“What is the hold up?
We are ready for lift off!”

Speed may be of the essence
But sometimes it is more pleasant
Not to count the seconds

A pirate ship
Fully equipped
For a joy ride
In the seas open wide

“Sailing, sailing,
Over the bounding main,
For many a stormy wind shall blow
Ere Jack comes home again!”
