So this is a bit off topic, but I just happened upon the most beautiful poem to ever grace us with it's awesomeness in all of planet Earth & most of the moons of Endor. It's very Afrikaans so my neighbor-lady-person had to kind of take me step by step, but damn, I want to marry this man. Read it. Embrace it. French kiss it. Buy it a drink.
I give you Florauna by Andre Le Toit (who also happens to be Koos Kombuis, thus adding to its sheer awesomeness):
ek wil vir jou 'n gewelhuisie bou
in die boland van my hart
met 'n peerboom in die tuin
en vaatjies wyn in die kombuis
en 'n tuinhekkie met krulle
en boekrakke met sartre
ek wil vir jou 'n gewelhuisie bou
in my onderkaap van smart
met skepe in die hawe
en donssaad op die berg
en jy in lewende lywe
op die stoep, in jou kombers
in die winterboland van my hart.
jy kom van 'n groot glaskasteel
met kandelare en wolkatte
en toffies toegedraai in bordjies
en poedels op plaveisel
jy's gewoon aan kaapse weer
jou tekkies is geparfumeer
maar ek wil vir jou my lewe gee
in die wit afdophuisie van my hart
And this little bitch turned me into a blubbering idiot, frantically searching through my personal library for some kind of Jane Austen book.
Bow to Koos Kombuis all ye infidels, for he is the fat fucking poo.
That is all.
