Best English Speakers among Our Kind

Fruit from Finnish education

And internationalization:
Our English is the fifth best
From East to West
The top ones are Norway, The Netherlands
Denmark and Sweden, our neighbor lands (hs.fi)

To all these others
English is kin to the tongues of their mothers
Among all nations with a language of a different kind
We are the best you can ever find
We are the best in the whole wide world
In every sense of the word

SUMMARY (in Twitter):
Among all nations with a language of a totally different kind
We are the best English speakers you can ever find

Finland is Free

Finland is free
Here I want to be

Veterans Day

Freely is waving the flag of Finland
Giving thanks for the homeland
To the veterans of our wars
The defenders of our homes and walls

Winter

From the summer that burned
To a breathtaking winter I returned
To the shining white blanket of snow
To Finland's frost and cold

The frost had painted the trees
Given them white magnificent sleeves
Prettier than for tens of years indeed
It's one of the best winters I've seen

Finland is Peace and Freedom

Finland is peace and freedom
Love and wisdom
Faith in the mother tongue and fatherland
In the Finnish woman and man

Finland's Independence Day

Finland is home, Finland is best

Here we can work, here we can rest

Finland is peace, Finland is great

Let's celebrate

Finland Is the Best

Finland is the best

In the east or west

It's my home and my nest

Here I find peace and rest

In so many fights

We kept our rights

Hand in hand

We protected our land

Finland is the best I know

Despite the ice and snow

It's the coolest place

On the earth's face

We Finns

We Finns are honest

Proud to be modest

We're strong and smart

Proud of our science and art

We're friendly, with a good heart

That's what we are

Finnish Values

At northern latitudes

The Finns' values and attitudes

Represent the following views

A recent study defines

The order in people's minds

See it in the following lines

First comes equality

Second comes privacy

And then social security

My First Poem Ever (27 Sep 1974)

I came from Finland one lovely day

To spend a year in U.S.A.

And here I stand in front of you

Supposed to say a rhyme or two

My country is a lovely one

Where even at midnight we can see the sun

Thousands of lakes with pretty strand

Are one of the beauties of my native land

Nebraska out in the West

Will be my home till summer next

But that's not all - I saw much more

When I toured towards the western shore

The words you use are hard to say

But I will learn at least by May

It is so neat to be down here

I get a lot within one year
