image is PD source wiki commons. Now that Netanyahu is intent on his own Crime of the Century. I thought I'd put all my Guignol, Teutonic Mediaeval, Holocaust, Apocalyptic (basically anything that mentions Totentanz) in the same collection. Don't wait up, it may take some time.

Mono Log
First of all, let's call it prosetry. Well, I've been playing with this one for well over 10 years. My normal mode of working is give the keyboard a bash and then dash. Those I do fiddle with, I rarely improve. However, I've had a go with this...

Thank you very much for giving this the time...
