Hagbarth Schmidt
He has missed the forest for the trees,
What I create I can destroy,
What are you whispering about?
This kit contains everything,
When this passing world is done,
Speak slowly and clearly.
Don’t you put that old gag on me;
Attach the money to the kids,
Mathematically how many times to scratch it.
Death is near, light is the speed,
I owe him more than any cat,
Fuzzy thinking may not be deplorable.
Thinness as the great panacea,
We could stop the coming end,
The world, I think, will wait a long time.
We should thank God that such men lived,
The entire and long history,
If dying young means mortal pain;
There is no place for kings.
