I don't know any better translation than just simply: I twist an R around a beam and I put the S into my pocket.

[Tukkonen]

A bit different approach than what i had, mine is way stupider "I wrap/wind R around a rafter and put S in the pocket"

This browser's "translate to English" just produced 

 

 "I'll circle the scar around the perch and put the ace in my pocket"

 

In the USA a 'perch' is either a kind of fish or something a bird might sit on (or person).  A "scar" is often a mark left on skin after an injury or an old injury on a tree or something.  An "ace in my pocket" sounds like someone is cheating at cards.  (Or did that mean "ace in the hole", which could be a surprise ability or object.) 

 

I have been warned about Finnish!  😄  (Or was the translation "too polite"?)

This is what they have been after 😄 'Roost' could also be another term to use for it.

I would translate the phrase to;
I twist the R around the roost and put the S into my pocket 😄 

If you want to confuse yourself about Finnish, try to understand what we mean when we say 'kuusi palaa' 😄
