Come, ye sinners: Joseph Hart
親愛罪人，請你來
首被平原的管家(Google-Coco)
The only sensible thing to do –
So it was said, but in the days of separation what must one do?
A British author, Joseph Hart, expressed it in this way:

In life there are only two certainties: death and taxes.
So it was said, but in uncertain days an accountant might need some imagination.
It has often been said that GAAP (Generally accepted accounting principals) were introduced in order to ensure: certainty comparability correlation and correspondence

In the ancient world, it is said, and in some modern people groups, counting was 1, 2, 3, many (not note 1 2 many). It has since long been known that there are three kinds of accountants in the world. Those who can count, and those who can’t.

Caffé
In days such as these
Some stress (if you please!)
Always abounding in bliss.
But I know what is
Enough of their ill
Lovely coffee will give a us thrill

When something would be bought reminds Coco of the OSSIE story from the DDR era:
A woman is walking down the street and sees a queue outside a shop. Without another thought she joins the queue and proceeds slowly, but effectively to the counter, whereupon, being faced with an empty counter and not being entirely sure what might be being sold in the shop, she asks for a 100g, or however much she would be allowed to purchase if less, of cheese. The counter assistant replies with as much deference and respect as in the circumstance she can muster: I am sorry, Madam, we have no cheese. We are a butcher’s, and we have nothing to sell today. The queue across the road is for the shop that cheese to sell has none.

Let not the winter’s ragged hand deface
In thee the hope of warmer days
For see proud-pied April doth efface
The harshest work of winter’s cold gaze,
So fields and beds, once bare on earth,
Bring forth, as if from stone, their verdure
Which as with great contended mirth
Doth leap and laugh as winter’s ardour
Gives way to spring wherein the birds shall sing
And blossom fling their beauties o’er the clades
Of trees in green of every hue, which ring
In silence throughout the lustrous glades.
So at the end of thy seven by seven be still
And accept this verse the expression of my good will
