A Big Stick Is Ein Stab Poem by Douglas Scotney
A Big Stick Is Ein Stab
As an explorer
you're downcast on finding
that German for 'fetish' is 'Fetisch'.
As a tidiness fetish is ein Ordnungswahn
and ein Ordnungsstick,
and an obsession ist ein Fimmel,
a fetish could be
ein Fimmel, ein Stick or ein Wahn.
A chronic one could be
ein Wahnfimmelstick -
though it's Wahnfimmelstab
that works better for me.
