Poem
Herman De Coninck
Him and Her
Bravely she keeps upher spirits and bust.
With a temperament like
a reinforced bra.
He too is fortified
with lots of cheerful Ha-ha-ha.
But for years now his urges
have been behind bars:
the stripes of his pyjamas.

Zij en Hij
Zij en Hij
Zij houdt moedig haar vrolijkheid open haar borsten.
Zij heeft een humeur
als een stevige beha.
Ook hij is opgetrokken
uit veel vrolijk Hahaha.
Maar zijn drift zit al jaren
achter tralies: de strepen
van zijn pyjama.
