Stammbuchvers (German)So – an ein Stammbuch hingezerrt – Denn mancher Gast will weitergehn

The Guest Book (English)Dragged to a Guest Book sans pardon You are non-plussed You feel locked up into the john Needlessly. You feel disgust.
For many guests in passing by Want not to leave their writ And throw their ink dabs, on the sly Unseen, where they may fit.
