The wonderful world all about me!

Nate's poem

My ingenious brother wrote this poem and I did not ask him if I could post it but I will give him credit:


Bosnia
By Nathan Eisenberg
An old baka smokes a cig and downs a coffee, an old man slaughters a goat, a
young boy curses in English...
this is Bosnia, the country I love.
Car horns blaring, firecrackers exploding, horrible folk music screaming...
this is Bosnia, the country I love.
Bread baking, pig roasting, cigarette smoke clinging to my clothes...
this is Bosnia, the country I love.
Rough cement, fake wood laminate, ancient Zastava...
this is Bosnia, the country I love.
Warm kifla, soggy burek, overcooked cevapi...this is Bosnia, the country I love.
This pretty much sums up my feelings about Bosnia too, rock on Nate!
