Poems by Piet Hein
Pedagogical Grook
... such a one has not discerned ...
Those Who Know
... are a universal pest ...
Thoughts on a Station Platform
... and vexed. You'll always be late ...
Meeting the Eye
... is to look a bit stupider ...
Nothing Is Indispensable
... But it wouldn't be missed ...
The State
... The state, our elder brother, ...
A Word of Encouragement
... so thank Heaven on your knees ...
The Wisdom of the Spheres
... is a star! It can teach us ...
The Egocentrics
... They will keep on about themselves ...
What Love Is Like
... Love is like a pineapple, ...
Memento Vivere
... Live while you've got ...
A Maxim for Vikings
... Things that dont actually kill you outright ...
Prayer
... If even that's too much for thee ...
Out of Time
... but now its lost both hands and chime ...
A Reproof
... that the effort you spend ...
