FINS AND SCALES]

Now from the little book called Czechoslovak Wit + Wisdom, here's a little ditty which recalls a time gone by, and remembers a lost love . . . [song lyrics at left]

The Prune Song
(A Tale of Plums)
Back of our village, on the main highway
Bosensky grows plums—oh yes!
Ann and I watched the plums
We ate them, It was so nice.
Always we sat beside each other.
Upon the stars, we gazed at the heavens.
And now I, I do everything alone.
I think about wanting to be near you.

Chorus:
On that avenue
Plums are rolling.
I, today, am not watching
I, today, am not watching.
My eyes are burning.

Back of our village, on the main highway
Plums are large as a flat—of yes!
Ann said nothing and ran from me.
I have no desire for happiness.
Ann watches plums with another
Now out plum jam she will not see.
Earlier here stars saw little things
Of which one does not talk.

Chorus repeated

Back of our village, on the main highway
Plums are gathered—oh yes!
Clothing I have in the wardrobe
And I met with the person, we have it signed.
Surely after I'm married I'll forget —
Then you, Ann, will remember what you did,
That you deceived me.
Plums now have no value.

Chorus repeated
[End of song]

And here are two choice bits of wit/wisdom which it would serve you well to remember from time to time.

When you oversalt the goose, you will appreciate a pitcher of beer.
Když husu pfesoliš, žbánek piva oželiš.

Everything has an end, but link sausage has two!
Všecko ma konec, a jaternice dvě!
