Is Simbach Austrian? Is Braunau German?
Buda’s bumpy, Pest
is flatter.
The Danube does it best.
Is history a palimpsest?
(Think Durer, think Blatter).
And spare me the sermon.
I forget the rest.
Does any of it really matter?

serigraphs
Known for 'selfies' was Albrecht Durer
in his day none were more surer
Painted 'photos' were his sure thing
fame then&now to him thay did bring
Durer christened Albrecht
so versatile & artfully correct
Best now remembered for a handsome face
in selfies made with good Grace
Nuremburg 's Albrecht Durer was ever in debt
&over his appearance often did fret
His long locks were the apex of taste
so a 'selfie' * an opportunity notl to waste
