what's not a probably: Carslberg is the probably
of beers... budweiser is a something of
      könig, of biere... but... hardly:
fermenting rice... mongrel-upkeep with the
wheat, the bait: of barley... let us forget the hops...
the 'ops... zutaten:
           wasser - weizemalz... gerstemalz... hefe...
     hopfenextrakt... even if the irish have:
and weave their stout: pint of... mcguinness...
the irish can cabbie on home...
                                    franziskaner weissbier...
   even within the confines of the latin script...
exceptions have to be made... notably...
the germanic Z... and most notably the ß:
and... should -ss be ushered in...
                           {weißbier} contra the irish stout...
schwarzbier... zzz: no snoozing...
    harpsicord: somewhere? anywhere? now?!
central european: "c"...
no... not a cedilla and a greek ς-gma...
     ч: chess... riddle me!
                 чeß чeß чeß чeß чeß чeß чeß...
do the germans even use a snooZe?
it's still in cyrillic... цeit: nach sein...
                 franцiskaner weißbier...
whole lot of "confusion":
    the germans do not, really...
exactly have a "z":   цu: zo'oh... цentral:
              the "conversation" is still
concerning: beer... like the english...
well... c is sometimes a k...
but... the c is also sometimes a konçerning...
to no avail:
          a чeap phraße - it's not a greek
sigma or a cedilla disguising itself as one...
sharp german: s und z...
point being... to discourage:
                 z from "c" and цeit... sharp wit...
                      franцiskaner weißbier?
the only beer in the world... well: the weißbier -
                                                      anno. 1363...
and the irish stout: schwarцbier...
- the german caron š: sch-
and the east german: ich... which is...
i-sch... well... a mix-up...
sch- is a mingling mongrel of:
                     š + ś - which ranges as far north
                        of: scandinavia might allow...        
so much for me solving crosswords...
no wonder... little wonder: more, perhaps...
as to why i hardly: feign... or bother... myself...
that two languages: are entrenched...
   and a third and a fourth comes along...
a fifth... crossword puzzles are for
mono-lingual folk... no disrespected...
but by the time it would take me to learn
the joy of crosswords...
i would have to pass through an iron
maiden of hardship... in unlearning a language
i call my own: learned: acquired:
"stolen"... nothing organic about it...
             nothing: native...
       it's better that way...
         little wonder then: concerning
the topic of loan words...

here's one:
      that angry dog tag-line...
better in greek:
      
                  αρσoνιστ!
                         μεινε μακρια...

the beast is always: apparently "tamed"...
because ol' lizzie spoke to me...
and ol' charlie too...
but the average englishman / woman
has no... *******... concept...
of private property...

white smoke... rising... from burning...
pure organic material...
since... the recycling centers are somewhat
congested / closed...
asthma is a problem: "problem"
for a person... smiling trigger happy...
no token 'ere...
    and because it's: back to your cages!
because: katherine! and a karen!
sayz so!
struck with blind caress of obedience
                                    for the "civic duties"...
perhaps i'm drunk... perhaps i'm not...
beside the point...
   i'm fuming like a chimney...
we used to play nice...
     we played nice... giggles and
warlords...
have us a tame 'ere ****** on a noose...
have us 'ere... n'ah... i'll wake up early
tomorrow morn and fish out a...
complete and utter: ******!
