A young schizophrenic named Brother,
who learnt of the death of his sister, Huther,
said: ‘I know that it´s bad,
but I don´t feel too sad!
After all, even now we still have each other.’

Once he moved to South America,
To hunt moles,
And look for moles´ holes,
But it turned out there were no moles in America.

Whose hobby was eating bananas,

Who liked to be worn by dogs,

Who simply wanted to be a triangle,

Near the church of St Mark,
Quickly pissed a tree and was gone.
