“Everyday life is like programming, I guess.
If you love something you can put beauty into it”
Donald Knuth
Ripples
When it comes to you,
I am quite predictive
And yes,
Utterly and deeply committed
Even though,
I may feel a little conflicted
I know,
I am very addicted
Sometimes,
To the point of wicked
But only you,
My rippling dark brown liquid
Can make me
Totally uplifted

“Everyday life is like programming, I guess.
If you love something you can put beauty into it”
Donald Knuth
Which Way?
Should I have stayed,
Or should I have gone?
Which way was up,
Which way did the flow go?
Did I make the right turn,
When I should have taken left?
Was it a mistake,
Or was the end justified by the means?
Much may be at stake
Or so it usually seems
Did I read the sign correctly,
Or maybe,
It was just elementary?

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Dudes a-standing
Proud of being green
As in front of this white house I am seen
I try not lean
Because I am the dude a-standing
Trying hard not onto the ground a-landing

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Group a-hanging
We are the tough crowd
Hanging together green and proud
We usually sing very loud
Sometimes even scaring the cows
But sometimes we just meow
Especially, if the sky turns to a cloud

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Dudes a-standing
Up high on my pedestal
I really try not to fall
But if you throw me a ball
I will down myself haul
And shoot a great goal
Faster than you can it call

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Ladies a-leaning
One lady a-leaning
Two ladies a-leaning
If I keep on going
This will turn into a song
Just bang the gong
And in a flash I will be gone…

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Ladies a-leaning
Ladies of Helsinki
Keep telling me
To put on a crown
And go down town
Soon the ugly frown
Will even make a clown
Smile:
You are now officially on file

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Dudes a-standing
With this seagull on my head
My wicked ideas I will spread
But if you promise to bring me bread
Another type of story will be told instead

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
…And Ordinary Dwellings
A stylish display
Of this historic market hall
With wall to wall
Ye old shops
Where ever you stop
When done
Sit in the sun
In any of the cafes

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
Capital Buildings…
The old orthodox cathedral
May seem somewhat medieval
But also quite regal
Just ask the adoring people
