no returns

BOOMERANG                                                                        








Once there was a boomerang;
It was a bit too long.
The boomerang was cast,
But never did come back.
For many hours the public throng
Waited for that boomerang.




BUMERANG                                                      



War einmal ein Bumerang;
War ein weniges zu lang.
Bumerang flog ein Stück,
Aber kam nicht mehr zurück.
Publikum – noch stundenlang –
Wartete auf Bumerang.
