Quatrains

Vierzeiler von Claus Hebell

The negative abundance of an affluent society
Creates a cheerful tribe of ever growing fat
These masters of their absolute propriety
Can be exterminated by a single swishing bat.
I cannot say why I can’t stop my constant swearing.
What is the matter, Fritz? Are you so mad?
I will maintain that I can’t stop my witless caring
While things are hopeless swearing makes you glad.
When like a childish dream all time has passed
And the intelligence of crime unmasked
Who can the mystery of man explore:
Whitewashed remains on a dismantled shore.
