Best Finns Poems

Whoa! My cabinet's 'not diverse enough!'*
This identity stuff is really tough!
  Greeks, Poles, Nepalese
  Turks, Finns, Congolese
You do it, Kamala ~ You're no creampuff

It was late one night when Finn walked in
And sat next to McGee at the bar
McGee, looking down was wearing a frown
While Finn lit up a cigar

Finn saw McGee was in mourning
By the black band he wore on his arm
And approached his friend so slowly
With...

Limerick : Once a shocking Norseman crowned Viking

Once a shocking Norseman crowned Viking
Took his flaxen men on an ice outing
They lusted for fat Finns
Knocked walrus and dolphins
Why Arctic now with Vi-wal-phins seething.

Finns dog just died
And a loyal friend was he
I picked two shovels up
And passed one to McGee

It's body in a box
Was carried just by Finn
As we slowly made the walk
Where the funeral would begin

As we made it to the church yard
Father Shamus met us there
As...

As worshippers in Australia lift holy hands to Heaven
I recall promises to pray for the ill, the aged, the convalescent

Praise-worthy voices dance exquisitely, inside a church called Hillsong
You and I must intercede for friends, foes,for those who don't belong

A for America, for a Holy-Spirit led...

MAIL   PUZZLE

Indians call India  Bharat, so now you know.  
And the Chinese call China   Zhong-Guo
Islands are called Malvinas by some guys,
And Falklands by those with different  ties. 
Congo? Zaire? Congo? What is it today?
Will Mumbai revert to being...

Finn was at his job today
You know he drives a bus
Never really much to say
When he talks to us

He's never talked bad of folks
Or said and evil word
In fact I'd never heard him joke
He thinks that it's absurd 

But early on this morning
Right there in...

Fierce Arctic blasts were but things of my past
Once I found romance in the south of France.
How could she entrance with one simple glance?
My lonely love fast was over at last.

No longer alone with wine of the Rhone
We shared fresh claret at the Blue Parrot,
Love,...

Vodka seems to be part of the Russians.
It's like order and structure for Prussians.
Vodka opens the mind,
but it makes one inclined
to fall over and suffer concussions.

How the Irish delight in their drink
is straightforward and touching I think.
Sean and Mary McGinnis
raise their glasses of Guinness,
and then...

Go out fishing with your TROTT
Near the pond to the SWANN’s lot

To pluck the onions from the ROOT
Enter the BROAD KITCHEN to

Ring the BELL to begin the feast
Eating the FINNS & it’s body parts   
Along with...

Trump, Putin, and Beelzebub
Drank tea in an Helsinki pub
Boasting of sins
Two Mickey Finns
Enquired, "Are you from the Hair Club?"...

Mr. Winter bundled up in his fanciest robes of winds 
Decorated in snowflakes that tickled fancy of Finns.
He arrived amid cold breezes that whirled and twirled.
Many hats and scarves were tossed, uplifted and swirled.

He’s coming! The animals said, some trying to hide. 
The air got...

Descendent we are
forefather’d as we are
(not all obviously),
from the Germanic tribes.

Around the year zero
we emerged out of those dark primordial
winter forests,
fully formed and tribal.
Not to get too historical, however.

The fun part is
we get to choose which one of these
we want to be,
choose imaginary friends and...
