Part 2

The passengers were a well-heeled lot who
    Had no experience to the rigors at sea.
And their disillusionment grew... on seeing the crew
    Entirely encrusted with earwigs and fleas.

This is the best beer I've ever had. 
Yes, The best beer I've ever had. 
No beer is really bad, but

Vergossene Tränen, verloren,
versickert in der Vergangenheit
wie Frühlingsschnee
im September

Kein Grab, kein Stein,
für die Erinnerung,

nur die Blätter verdecken die Sonne
mit traurigen Augen

Angst verbreitet sich stumm,

	now less serene 
		ruptured n' spleen

Days n' illumination?
n' summers hibernation?
Awaiting eschatology and Madonna's divination

In summers somnolent slumbers I...

Du Einsame, 
in den Bergen getrotzt,
versteckt in den Wolken
getragen vom Geist des Inka,
hochgepriesen,

zerklüftete Tal des Urubamba.
Stein auf Stein,
gebaut mit großem Geschick,
geboren durch die Kraft
der Inkas.
Zufluchtstätte 
der letzten Überlebenden,
verborgen vor den...

and all the stories that we hear
of Clinton's crimes, and Trump's remarks,
and how the media embarks

on efforts to distort the truth –
it makes me want to be the sleuth
who...

Henry VIII
Henry VIII king of England, he had six wives,
Half of which had rather shorter lives.
Three died, two divorced and the last was glad by far,
For she outlived him, her name Catherine Parr.

It's late, the bar is nearly empty,
One or two folks left besides me.

Only blurrs now do I see.
