A poem (semi-OT)


What? No new posts in two days?
MEDIC! MEDIC!

For emergency reanimation, I'll post a poem by E. Geibel,
~1850, translated (and somewhat modernized) by me, about...

A STERN CRITIC
I heard a lion roaring phat*
but round the corner sat - a cat.
Well then. The bears won't need advice
and it may scare - the rats and mice.

* Hip-Hop slang, here as: "good", "loud", or suchlike.

I still prefer Christian Morgensterns "Die unmögliche Tatsache" ("The impossible fact").

For reasons of copyright I can't post it here but you can see it at http://www.alb-neckar-schwarzwald.de/morgenstern/morgenstern_poems.html

It must be my ignorance, but is there any connection to chess compositions?
Or is "The Aesthetic Weasel" by Christian Morgenstern the missing link?!?

 QUOTE 
The aim of this magazine is to convey correct information of all doings in the chess world, to cultivate a sound taste for the efficient and the beautiful in chess and to spread the love for chess among all peoples speaking the English tongue.


Well, a poem not by words but by the meaning :-)

Here's a short poem I composed a few years ago, which has some relevance in this forum...
Try to guess the last word of the title [hint: read aloud]


Title: Oh, Me Lady ......

E-fortify Eidy
She takes into sea tree
On que Dee ate be sea force great
But into a sicks sealed her fate
