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?

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
