Finish in Finland....

if i were
in a northern
country in Europe

and i was
ending my life
would i say "fin"

as in
the ending 
of a movie

because if
i were in Finland
wouldn't every sunset

be
fin...

Said a sweet young chick from Finland
“I’m so happy to be from the inland,”
It’s simply a fact
The Finn girls attract
The finest fellows from the Rhineland.

Freakish Fanny fled fine Finland
For far-fetched Formosa fields,
Forsaking fantastic fiords forever
Forfeiting flourishing forests,
Frigid fertile farmland, festivals
Forgetting feared future fighting.

YOUNGMAN FROM NEW ENGLAND


There was a young...man from New England
so excited visiting his cousin
he was single and lonely
his lost love left for Finland
she left him at the park so cold hearten

MISSED


MISSED
let slip,
overlooked.

Power's invasive
attributes distort airs,
ignored target riddles peace.

I stepped into a place of magic.
Implements, antique construction,
still used everyday.
Shiny interlopers keep away!
The trusty and pre-fabricated still hold sway.
Products of a bygone era,
polished and honed to precision,
manual labor, the road to perfection.



(Note: on visiting a farmhouse in Finland
          where many of the old-fashioned farm 
          implements are still used to this day.)...

Paul's wife Doll was a little dolphin
                                   She had no hands but a single fin
                                       She ate a cute fish finger
                                       Allowed the smell to linger
                                 And paid fin to Finland for her sin

a grab-and-run pack
a small survival sack
with one set of clothes for spouse and self
passports, a file with just few mails
an old diary with addresses to contact
in England, Finland, and Switzerland

and some currency notes
couple of thousands
in rupees that does not stretch
like the American dollars
they were what i needed most

as the pogrom was in progress
in my Tamil homeland
while i always went to bed
with shoes on my feet...
