    I write, I read, and the typos are still there. It is the crux of my life. Anyhow, my published works should not be overpriced and in some outlets you might be even able to set your own price!

      One Hundred Poems, Volume III - Tuomas Vainio

      Meet the Black Pig (For a fantasy novel)

      The beast of the East,

      He who longs to feast,

      His blades are greased,

      His old armour fleeced,

      His entire clan deceased,

      His fate is last, never least,

      His hunger never decreased,

      His skills waiting to be leased.

      Meet the Black Pig.

      The 'Coke' Bottle Boob Challenge

      Have you tried it?

      Do you think you can do it?

      Are your breasts big enough for it?

      > Yes.

      > Maybe.

      > No.

      It is for breast cancer awareness,

      Through relative bareness,

      Some teens shout; yes.

      But it is no ice bucket challenge,

      Participation requires 'talent',

      Which is easily absent.

      Maybe if I tie my chest hair to a knot,

      No, it probably is my only shot,

      To keep a bottle caught.

      It is for breast cancer awareness,

      Through relative stickiness,

      Some teens shout; no.

      The War Never Changes – Squee!

      I saw the trailer for Fallout Four...

      It certainly did not leave me sour,

      As I look forward to sneak and scour,

      That world once bathed in atomic shower,

      And once more spend unreasonable man hours,

      Going through mods for that additional staying power.

      A Letter Through Mail

      A demand I seem to hear,

      An effort I somewhat fear,

      For words might not appear,

      Yet I long to be ever so near,

      But my mind is far from clear,

      So I do not know how to adhere,

      If I can finish this letter this year,

      Such are excuses from this engineer,

      Who sees an empty paper as his frontier,

      A task to produce something cohere,

      His own battle to remain sincere,

      But these are just words in air,

      Echoes from a mind left bare,

      Lost without words to share,

      And so does he only stare,

      At the throes of despair.

      Well, at least until a spark of thought,

      Finally gives him the letter sought,

      So perhaps it was not for naught.

      Vampires and Bullies

      Not everyone will accept to being sullied,

      That is a lesson to be learned for all bullies,

      How eventually they will bite and then choke,

      Whimper miserably as they continue to croak,

      Before a victim deemed less half than their size,

      Who by standing up tore down the bullies'
