And the gentleman said
Should you happen to come upon
An Albanian and a wolf
Slay the Albanian
When the Albanian heard the saying
He smiled
And rolled himself a cigarette
If you slay me
my poor friend
Who will slay
The wolf ?!
Poor herds
for F. Altimari
Ali Podrimja (1942 – 2012) Kosovo (was Albania when he was born)
