“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.”
― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

Elves

“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”

The stars in the sky shining bright
No one knows where they tread

Dressed in white
Dressed in red

The Holiday Season is upon us
The Elves are all around us

Small or tall
They’re having a ball
Singing along
The holiday’s song

“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”

“I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That’s not me at all” Daphne Guinness

Towering

In the distance
The mere existence
In the presence of significance
The towering height
In all its might

Elvis-3

“Man, I really love Vegas” Elvis Presley

“Elvis has left the Konebuilding”

Jingle bells a-rocking
Elvis comes a-knocking

Gold lamé suit
Dancing to no ones’ flute
A real cool dude
Definitely no prude

Rocking around
The Christmas tree
To a cool sound
And and impish glee

Twist and shout
No time to pout
The jingle bells
Put their spells

Now the rest of us
Mere mortals of dust
Jamming with the king
And wholehearted sing

But oh how time flies
Now it is time to say
Our fondest good byes
Flying back to the skies

“Ladies and Gents,
Elvis, has left the (Kone)building”

“The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll
Elvis has left the Konebuilding”

This week’s favourite photo has to be the one of the Christmas ornament, or plastic Elvis, as I like to call it. The photograph was taken from one of the decorations of our office Christmas tree.

Ode to My Mac(intosh)

You let out a hum
As I turn you on
I am Flushing
As I am pushing
Your on switch

You light up
Without amok
It’s electric
Almost magnetic
I feel the itch
I am ecstatic

Cannot wait
As you bait
To touch all
Your buttons

Like a glutton
I will call
For you to deliver
As I wait and shiver
Reaching every height
Through your interface
The globe
To integrate

Guess it was love
At first byte

A Visit to the North Pole

Posted in honour of the month of December
Poetry & Photography

“O, how glorious would it be to set my heel upon the Pole and turn myself 360 degrees in a second!” Joseph Banks

A Visit to the North Pole

A quick trip
To the North Pole
A little hop and skip
To the beat of the drum roll

The elves busy at work
Their faces in a permanent smirk
No time for breaks or coffee
Not even a little toffee

The holiday season is upon us
Which has caused all the fuss
Be careful where you step though
You may end up in a pile of snow

Santa’s sleigh
Without delay
Flying over the river
Presents to deliver

Hitch a ride
In a blink of an eye
You’ll be landing
At the front door standing

Was it a dream
So it would seem
But then again
Life is but a dream

December Moon, Part Five

“From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It’s not a miracle; we just decided to go” Jim Lovell

December Moon, Part Five

Welcome,
To the dark side
Of the moon

They promised
Strong coffee
With an option
Of cream

Half way there
Gave me a scare
What if
There was
No sugar?
Oh bugger!

So what
Coffee black
Is just
As good!

“I am not a person who reaches for the moon as long as I have the stars” Gertrude Ederle

December Moon, Part Four

Echoes of the past
Echoes of the future
Time is moving fast
No later than sooner

Up high
In the sky
Total bliss
When time is
Standing still
If you blink
Even a wink
The moment
Passed you by
Oh how
Time flies

Bright in the night
Bright in the day
Hope you are
Here to stay
