A poem by Christian Morgenstern


Just thought I'd share a whimsical poem with you today, written by the German poet Christian Morgenstern--in preparation for the weekend and for those of you (like me) who are in the process of fighting off a cold..........


The Sniffle
 
A sniffle crouches on the terrace
to catch a victim he can harass.

And suddenly he jumps with vim
upon a man by name of Schrimm. 

Paul Schrimm, responding with "hatchoo",
is stuck with him the weekend through.
