5 April 2009 - logistical arrangements

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Advice from Wilhelm Busch

She has nothing, nor do you,
But even so, you swear that only
The holy bond of matrimony
Shall make one what once were two.

You checked your senses at the door,
And now you suffer twin derangements!
Without logistical arrangements
You should never start a war.

A loose translation of a poem by Wilhelm Busch, “Sie hat nichts und du desgleichen,” first published in 1874.
