White for Mundane Monday I two
Posted in Mundane Monday
“I’m from Sweden, so I don’t enjoy winter at all; there’s nothing cute about it” Lykke Li
White
Oh winter, oh winter
Don’t think I am bitter
But to be honest
I wish you to be gone-st
I really loved you at first
Now I am dying of thirst
Of a summer that is
So hear me please
And be gone!

A Seat fit for a Queen for Seat Sunday
Posted in Seat Sunday
“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

Caturday Poem 2
Posted in Caturday
“In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you”
Michel de Montaigne
Caturday Poem
I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!
Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife

The Finnish Dream for Favourite Foto Friday
Posted in FavFotoFriday
“Do not cross the brook for water” Finnish proverb
The Finnish Dream
A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight
If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finns existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator

The Label Maker for TBT
Posted in Throwback Thursday
“Labels are for cans, not people” Anthony Rap
The Label Maker
Hey you with your label maker!
You like tagging people don’t ya, you faker!
You went right by me and took one look
Stuck this sticker on my forehead without a single hook
I am having a hard time getting it off
Did you think it would make a great perma-label on this spot?
But guess what, you nut
I washed my face with potent soap in a rut
With a huff and a puff
My forehead finally crystal clear and clean again
Luckily without the use of acid rain
And nothing of it sticking to my brain
No amount of glue
Will keep the sticker on my face
Your plan went sadly askew
Or were you just in the wrong place
Memorize this lesson
Into your big fat head
Go find some cans for making the impression
And label some of them instead

A Quick Trip to Paris four

“When in Paris, the good times cherish”
Gun Roswell
A Quick Trip to Paris
Down the Avenue des Champs Elysee
An all eyes can see buffet
Watching through the camera peep hole
For all the goodies and people
Which money can or cannot buy

White for Mundane Monday I one
Posted in Mundane Monday
“I love the Mediterranean for the fact that winter is over in a minute, and the almond blossom arrives in January” Jade Jagger
White
Whiter than white
The blanket so tight
Woven onto the ground
And into our minds
Yes it’s winter
Oh joy!?
(She says sarcastically
What she means really)
Quite the splinter
And a clever ploy!
First it was nice
Now it seems
You are staying
Just of spite

Palm Sunday
Posted in Celebration/Tradition
“Virvon, varvon tuoreeks, terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, valoisaks kevääks, lämpimäks suveks, pääsiäispyhäks ja juhannustuleks. Vitsa sulle, palkka mulle!”
Palm Sunday
Watch out
Little witches are about
When at your doorstep they enter
Make sure to bribe them like a big spender
For aches and pains and other ailments
Out the door with the witches went
If you try from the witches hide and ignore
Be prepared, for the rest of the year to be sore!
