Closed for Summer

“What good is the warmth of summer,
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck

Closed for Summer

The sign stated boldly:
“Closed for summer”

Oh, what an unexpected bummer!
And here, I rented this hummer
To roam around the countryside
In a built up haze of wonder!

Pacing around the yard
Knowing full well I could not get far
A smile upon my face
Yes, this is the place
I would make my case

“What if I just break in?
Surely, that would not be a great sin?
After squatting for a week or two,
Just leave a kind thank you note and a payment too?
That would teach them a lesson
Not with the tourist of summer to be messin'”

“Closed for summer my derrière!
From now on, this summer just got merrier!”

A Seat fit for a Queen

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin;
what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein

A Seat fit for a Queen

A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

“When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family’s car at the drive-in” Forest Whitaker

Sunny Side of theBench

On the sunny side of the bench
No option of getting drenched
Enjoying the long, warming rays
In these unworried and lazy days

Before the days are done
Soaking in the healing sun
With closed eyes this moment
Like an image in my mind burnt

“When in Finland, sit where the Finns do”

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna Fortress

Green Seat

A little lone seat
Painted in green
Out here in the heat
Maybe old fashioned
And a little compassion
Add some graffiti
And it’ll turn out neat!

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna Fortress

Hurry, reserve that Seat!

“Hurry, hurry!
Someone will steal
That cool seat
And we’ll be left standing
On our two feet!”

Pink Cafe

Cafe in a pink house
Somewhere, thereabouts
Sit down, have a coffee
With a bun, laced with toffee

“It is not the honor that you take with you,
but the heritage you leave behind”
Branch Rickey

Heritage

Piles and piles of stones
In the church yard filled with bones
Resurrection on its way
To preserve a heritage on display

but the heritage you leave behind”

Heritage

A castle fit for a King or Queen
Light up on every eve
This heritage would impress even Steve
Check it out, before you leave

Heritage

One small
The other tall
Two from the past
Built to last
As our heritage

Branch Rickey

Heritage

The sea captain, now long gone
Left behind him, something strong,
Long and heavy
Big enough for everyone’s envy
A true blast from ages passed
An object of art, an object for use
An anchor strong and made to last
