glassw (William B Glass):
Ei! wei schmeckt der Coffee suise
lieblicher als tausend Kusse,
milder als Mustatenwein
Coffee, Coffee mub ich haben,
und wenn jemand mich will laben,
ach so schenkt mir Coffee ein!
Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes,
more delicious thatn a thousand kisses,
mellower than muscatel wine.
Coffee, cofee I must have,
and if someone wishes to give me a treat,
ah then pour me out some coffee!
--Liechen in Kaffee-Kantate (Coffee Cantata), J.S. Bach--

henry (Henry Mensch):
SEMYONOVSKAYA, U.S.S.R. -- Moscow will have almost no potatoes this
winter because God is punishing Russia for letting the Communists rule
for seven decades.
That's what 64-year-old Maria Zaitseva said as she hunched over with
her bare hands to wrestle a green potato out of the mud. Many of the
hundred other Moscow residents here, mired in ankle and wrist deep mud
to harvest rotting potatoes, agreed with her gloomy outlook on the
winter to come.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To speak of many things.
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax,
Of cabbages and kings,
And why the sea is boiling hot,
and whether pigs have wings."
Plan? Plan? Who needs plans? I don't have any plans....
