A Trip To Helsinki City

These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee.
They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods.
They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond.
In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna,
where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat.
Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.

Greece

Sunsets and horseback rides
In the sandy open wide
Beach life at its best
Or something else you can suggest?

Greece

Knick-knacks
And doodads
They may not last
To tell any tales
From here
To the past

Chuck Thompson

Greece

In the clear turquoise waters
Maybe, spotting a few otters
But fare warning
Be careful, of what you may spot
The white fading spot
Could be a seagull doing a drop
Or a tourist diving
Without a bottom or a top!

Greece

The midday sun
High up in the blue sky
Enjoying the holiday fun
Watching the birds fly

Greece

Local architecture,
Filled with history
Just lay back
And soak in the stories
Of all the glories
From the past
Plastered to last
Oh, what a blast!

While roaming
The ancient ruins for Greece
Breathe deeply
And let the moment freeze
