DANUBE RIVER
(where it borders Budapest)

CEE

“Now, Joachim was timid, except when maligned,
And he was the creature of duty
If his Kommandant told him to
Shoot a pregnant woman in the head,
He obeyed
If the Kommandant told him to arrest
Another Kommandant,
He obeyed
And if the same Kommandant, mad
Toward the end of it all, had said,
“’Oberleutnant!’—
For Joachim was the only one of us to make
Officer—
‘You shall shoot off your big toes, for
That is my wisdom’”,
Joachim would have pulled out his Parabellum,
Aimed steady,
Closed but one tearing eye
And obeyed to his own crippling;
There could be but one fate for such as Joachim,
Defending Budapest in 1945
His driver told me later,
They found Reds piled in cords around him.

Hmm.
A true German.”
