Rolf Who Begat Salvador

Having arrived in el Paraguay
he wanted to stay, por favor,
because of the immigrant law
that didn't ask why or wherefrom
Vatican City twined such a ratline.

"They even helped find a fey señorita
who lived at least until she delivered
a blue-eyed blond Paraguayan"
Rolf liked to say at Gerhard's cantina

"where certainly a Jew's also a man,
but a flea is also an animal,"*
he winks at the barmaid Angelina

who can't understand a word of German
but knows it's not beer that he's asking for
when he orders his beer with a bitte.


*"Sicher ist der Jude auch ein Mann, aber der Floh ist auch ein Tier"
