A lady, turned 98, died today.
Her name was Irena Sendler.
She left the lights (and TV) on.
During World War II,
Irena slept with a Saturday,
and donated the rain to our children:
she got a job as a nurse in the Warsaw ghetto,
but as a specialist in sewers and culverts,
her intentions were, fortunately, considerably beyond:
she knew what orcs were planning
(creating angels,
Hugo Boss clothing
(insatiable hedonism?,
maybe),
an iron discipline,
inventing a New World Order…
those things),
so she pulled away Jews babies,
hidden in an ambulance,
in a toolbox,
and older children,
in a burlap sack at the bottom of it,
a total of 2.500;
she also had a dog of indeterminate breed,
whom he had trained to bark the orcs,
when she went in and out of the ghetto.
Naturally, the soldiers didn´t want to know anything about the dog
(whose barking covered the groans of creatures):
Irena slept with a Saturday,
and donated the rain to our children:
thus color blue arose
(as intense as the essence of the twilight sky above).
