Your girlfriend (fashionista, über-
cool, tanned, blonde and far too thin)
reminds me of Angela Merkel
the Bundeskanzlerin.
Do they both love recycling and spend
their Sundays hugging trees?
Were both their fathers Luth’ran pastors?
Did they both gain PhDs?
No, but what they both fear, though in quite a
diff’rent manifestation,
in dress-size or in currency, is the
horror of inflation.
