On Ais
As the bold sunset fadeth in the west
Which by and by black night doth take away
So the turn of thy thirty years doth thee,
In all the splendour of thy lettered name,

As the bold sunset fadeth in the west
Which by and by black night doth take away
So the hotline’s calls, which thee enthrall
Do fall away as Phoenix in his grey
Only once more to rise under thy careful eyes
To be resolved, to deliquesce and as it were
to yump away.

Es lebte einmal eine Biene in Hagen,
die antworten konnte auf jegliche Fragen.
Die wohl Schwierigste bei einem Quiz – ganz klar -war: Was war war bevor war war war?
Sie wusste auch dies und gewann ohne List:
Bevor war war war war war bin oder ist!
From the original Dutch:
Er was een bij te ‘s Gravenhage
Die antwoord wist op alle vragen.

Met ‘Eer was was was was was is.’
