h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This time I´d like to tell you a bit about my self.
I´m a swedish poet, trying really hard to be published.
It hasn´t worked that well yet , but what can one say at least I´m trying... heh!
Let´s give you a sample og one of my poems, until I reach the safety of explaining what kind of guy I am.

Lekplatsen

Resväskans stängs
ser ut mot gungorna
ler vilset åt den öde lekplatsen
barnen har vuxit upp
trädet som planterades för år sedan
har vuxit upp
plantorna
har vuxit upp
vissnat
och dött

långsamt sträcker sig
i trädkronan
en nästan murken gren
efter molnen
som släpper regn
på en ödelagd ruin

And now in english

The playground

The suitcase closes
looks out to the swings
gives a lost smile to the vast playground
the children have grown up
the tree that was planted years ago
have grown up
the plants
have grown upp
withered
and died

slowly in the treetop
reaches
an almost dead branch
after the clouds
who lets rain fall
upon a deserted ruin

(c) Mats Öhman

Maybe it´s not the best translation in the world. But hey, I´m swedish.

I´m a kind of nice guy a pressume. with a very sick sense of humour. Monty Python, Douglas Adams, and of course Terry Pratchett, that´s my weakspots when it comes to laughing. My research here. Well It´s just a dream to be like Ford Prefect, but this is as close as it gets and I´m trying to do the most about it. I´ll hope you all enjoy your visit here, as it is, in a way, ironic (sarcastic) about the veryday normal life of swedish people...
