Kalle writes a poem about Jukka

Kalle’s adjectives are ‘fun’, ‘cheerful’, and ‘tymäkkä’ (an untranslatable word used to describe something that is so strong and present – in this case, the smell/taste of the fruit – that you’ve yet to decide if it is unpleasant or not). Despite being forbidden by the task, Kalle’s poem about Jukka rhymes in the original Finnish. The translated poem is “Jukka Rasila, a strong and tymäkkä man. / A cheerful chap, as everyone knew. / He’s also funny, like when he’s sweaty.” Kalle comes joint third.
