Finnish Tango In The Rain
standing in the rain again
in the rain again I stand,
next to the Finnish truck driver waiving with a wet newspaper
or maybe it's a card deck, hand looks like a duck's beak
from the radio "Satumaa" sounds like fruits falling from trees
rolling down on the patio to find a man and woman circling each other's bulb like

For the Finnic Death-goddess Louhi
Louhi Louhi, me gotta go
Louhi Louhi, me gotta go.
Fine little demoness waits for me
Me sail across Pohjola Sea

I never think I go back home.
Oh Louhi Louhi, oh behbee now, me gotta go
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Three nights and days me sail that sea
Me thinks of

Finland, You Up Next Not For Reindeer Or Sardines
OCTAVE:
LORD, as morn yields to noon (or dawn) my SONnet will please, tease, release:

My Guest From Finland
Rural eyes fall upon my white guest with golden hairs.
She’s put on jeans, not a sari, and an orange T-shirt, not a blouse.
Brown children chase her in wonder along our country road.
I’m her host- cum- guide just for a day.
My Indian English and her Finnish English meander through the mist.
Kids clap her risky

The Escape From Finland
The Escape
When Rudolph the red nosed reindeer wanted to
Be normal and join the flock on earth, Santa got depressed
Sat by many of Finland’s lakes contemplating his life

He wanted sunlight and a sandy beach.
He got hold of a tame water buffalo and an
