“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

Capital Buildings…
The old orthodox cathedral
May seem somewhat medieval
But also quite regal
Just ask the adoring people

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
…And Ordinary Dwellings
It may be a drawing
A piece of street graffiti
But if you are ready for exploring
In the warmth of Tahiti
Give this little town a chance
Who knows, maybe a glance
Will turn into a permanent stance!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
…And Ordinary Dwellings
Houses, seemingly ordinary
But inside, quit extraordinary
Side by side, in the town square
A common history, do they all share
Equally basking, in the sun’s glare

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
…And Ordinary Dwellings
Statues, trams and squares
A water fountain with stairs
It’s the centre of the city
By the waters ever so pretty
Therefore, nothing else compares!

Finnish proverb
Capital Buildings…
The Helsinki Cathedral
Some could say a sequel
But for the city dwellers
This, is the best seller
And a building nothing will equal
