BETWEEN
Is it difficult, you ladies dear,
to lie between two chairs here?
IF
If only we could fit together our egos
like we do with our Legos!
CAIN AND ABEL
So all men will be brothers at ease?
Help me, please!
Love is blind and deaf, but it has completely healthy children.
GODFATHER
Even for atheists
– I’m sure of this –
godfathers, in fact, do exist.
ANGEL
“You’re my angel!” she chatted in a whisper.
But I acted as if I had no gender.
A man is a man, he hardly changes therein.
He wants his own car, his own cottage, his own house and – foreign women!
PLATONIC LOVE
You may have to give for this love sage
Nothing more than your whole wage!
Where would humanity be if Noah had embarked in a canoe?
BIOGRAPHY
First an erotic.
Then a sclerotic.
MENTALITY
Even if you allow them
to use you to wipe
only the finest porcelain,
you will not acquire the mentality of porcelain
only the mentality of a rag
When your wife yawns by your side, she won’t go to bed with you.
OPINION
It’s easiest to change your opinion
when you don’t have one.
THE PROBLEM OF THE MOUNTED POLICE
A policeman can more easily adapt
to a change of uniform
than his horse can.
TORSO
A woman without a head is a torso. Why? Tell me!
After all, what makes a woman a woman is still in its place, see!
THE WORD
With frequent usage
All credibility is
Lost by the word
So goes the heart
Eventually akin to a turd
DEMAND
The emptier the heart is
the more it demands
additional foreign blood
LOOK
Look at the photograph
of your parents
year by year they look
younger
A THOUGHT
A thought should never be
too large
to fit
into your head
PURPOSE
An eggshell
is broken from without
for one purpose
and from within for another
FLAGS
Flags change…even those that are proud…
It’s the flagpoles that remain avowed.
A COIN
The start
of a football match
is decided by the tossing of a coin
this is the only time
that money
decides something
in a just manner
COMPLICATED PRODUCT
A man is the only
complicated product
during whose production
we can be
absent in spirit
WHAT KOHN SAID
For Petr Salner
The Lord didn’t love me
when I was born
it was pouring
when I got married
it was pouring
it even started raining
when they dragged me
into the concentration camp
