The “conservatives” here in Krakkerland are arguing about who is more “conservative.”  It’s like living in an episode of Dumb and Dumber.  We got a guy who thinks the Girl Scouts are a Communist plot.  He represents my neighborhood.  Lots of hide-bound Brit catholic families who made a fair amount of boodle mixed in with the Amish.

Narrative

The Fairy Queen 

White Rose

Aus Gottes ew’gem Rat
hat sie ein Kind geboren
und blieb ein reine Magd.
or: Welches uns selig macht 

At God’s immortal word,
She has borne a child
Remaining a pure maid.
or: Who makes us blessed. 

Rose

A Gift from Germania

Und hat ein Blümlein bracht
mitten im kalten Winter,
wohl zu der halben Nacht.

— Anon.

He wasn’t there again today,
I wish, I wish he’d go away…      — Mearns 

I walk… on Cemetery Hill because I live here.  I come out to admire the moon.  No one around tonight but there a light on the old camp ground.   Ach du lieber!  Was ist los do eye see?  Queen Elizabeth in a kettle!

Keep your eye on the sparrow.  All of them… seem connected by something… well… yes.  Welcome to the Gettysburg Gate House.
