Man Made Green (three)

“Green is the prime color of the world,
and that from which its loveliness arises”
Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Man Made Green

Row, row, row your boat
Along the green and lush moat
If you run into the town goat
Just stay cool and by him float

If it rains,
Bring your coat
Or just stay home
And run the boat
With your own
TV’s remote

Man Made Green

Green shelter
For the modern dweller
Where we can all stay together
But if you go down to the cellar
Remember to put on a sweater
The best known protector
For any type of weather

a swimming pool
but never had one”

Day

Spend a day
By the pool
Put on your shades
Just to look cool
The others
May be jealous
But never mind
They just drool
Because you
Are sitting
By the pool
In your very cool
Shades

Eve

Night fall
By the pool
Watching
The setting sun
Just because
You can
The cool breeze
From the fan
The water dark
Will give you a spark
The last rays
Like fire
Waking
Your desire
To jump in
Oh heck
Just take a swim
Clothes torn aside
When swimming
Deep in the waters

“We’re on a highway to Hell-sinki!”

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
