Typo in the title?
Nah.
It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Die Omama
Ludwig Hirsch (February 28, 1946 – November 24, 2011)
Da steh ma jetzt am Stammersdorfer Friedhof
regnen tut's
die Fiass tan ma schon weh.
Der Pfarrer sagt
sie war ein so herzensguter
Mensch
und trotzdem fällt mir's Weinen heut' so schwer.
Die Omama
die Oma ist nicht mehr.
Wie ich klein war
hat's mir einegstopft die Knödln
hat's glauert mit dem Pracker in der Hand
hat's mir auch umdraht schon den Magen
es war ihr wurscht
sie hat mi gschlagen
so lang
daá i schon angfangt hab zum Beten
Lieb Jesukind
laá d'Oma doch verrecken.
Die sieben Raben
es warn nur sechs
die gute Fee
es war a Hex
der böse Wolf
a kleiner Dackel
der Märchenprinz
a schiacher Lackel.
In Stammersdorf hat s' gabt die kleine Wohnung
mit Spitzendeckerln und ein Hitlerbild
a Glasl Grammelschmalz am Fensterbrett
den Nachtscherbn unterm Doppelbett
so weiá
so dick
so rund und immer voll.
Vielleicht hätt ma'n in's Grab dazulegn solln?
Einmal hab ich s' gfragt: " Wo ist der Opa?"
Im Himmel auf an Wolkerl spielt er Geign.
Für Führer
Volk und Vaterland
erschossen
aufghängt und verbrannt
auch das hat sie dem Adolf stets verziehn.
Er hat ihr ja das Mutterkreuz verliehn.
Die sieben Raben ...
In letzter Zeit da war s' schon bisserl komisch.
Das Grammelschmalz is gstanden unterm Bett
die Spitzendeckerln hat s' verbrannt
den Hitler hat s' an Pülcher gnannt
den Nachtscherbn hat s' plaziert am Fensterbrett.
Ganz Stammersdorf hat über sie schon gredt.
Am Muttertag da habn wir s' gführt in Prater
die Alte war auf einmal wieder jung.
Beim Go-Cart-Fahrn hat s' gjodelt
ein paar Langos hat s' verdruckt
nur beim Sturmbootfahrn
da geschah ein Miágeschick:
Da is s' an ihre falschen Zähn derstickt.
Die sieben Raben ...
Oma
pfüdigott
mach's drüben besser
mach keine Knödeln für die Engerln
sei so gut!
Tu nicht die Heiligen sekkiern
tu nicht den Opa
denunziern
und gehst zum Herrgott auf Besuch - ein guter Tip:
Omama
nimm's Mutterkreuz net mit!

Crying for Caruso
This evening visiting Sian's blog and enjoying her photos of clouds bringing snow to Graemsay/Orkney, when reading of her daily feeding the wild birds, I immediately thought of a dear friend in
Milan I met in February 2003 when he and I were engaged with Poets Against War (PAW). Giulio used to write at night. And often his emails ended
with regards from him and Caruso, the blackbird that had just begun
singing on his balcony.
Last Saturday was my friend's birthday, and I wished him well and asked, if Caruso had already serenaded him.
The answer: "I miss our blackbirds. We can no longer be their friends, the condominium saw to that- you can’t feed wild birds!"
The peace of the night.

Enjoy 'Life on a Small Island'
Following her blog for almost a decade spontaneously ;-) I decided to ask Sian if I may add her to my 'Seldom Boring's', and: The Lady gave her placet.
Thus, here we go: Enjoy Sian's and Button's Life on a Small Island.
I can vividly imagine the fabulous few friends of Omnium will soon ask how, by all means, I could be so lazy and introduce them to such a fine blog with ten years delay.
Just in time remembering why the devil beat his grandmother (she did not have a good excuse), I hasten to say that I only wanted to wait until there is enough stuff to discover – 1223 lovely posts, so far.
The peace of the night.
