Ah young Werther
Our world is sick of you
Here’s an answer do it a favor
It shouldn’t be all that hard

How we’ve suffered your sorrows
Eternal whiner no longer fashionable
Listened it seems all our waking hours
To your idiom of being misunderstood

Your broken heart and tortured soul
Can both with blessings go to Hell
A single room a few plain chairs
And four gray walls without a door

Where two or more just like you
With equally nothing better to do
Will argue forever who or who
Loudly is the most miserable
And no one keeping score

Juju

Thanks for reading

This has three components
Von Koren is a primary character in Chekhov’s “The Duel”
Werther is Goethe’s “The Sorrows of Young Werther”
And Hell reflects Sartre’s “No Exit”.  It was fun bringing
Them together.

Thanks again


John

Your sure let 'em have it. Well done Huan Yi. There's nothing more boring or annoying than someone repeating their ills and misfortunes ad nauseam.
