Thread: Airplane crash

Could you provide a translation?

Yes, please, Herman!

I'll have a go at translating it, hope that Herman doesn't mind...

This Abraham* seems like a wise man
but it's the computer
that can find it all
Besides a "very busy job"
he also has time to
go into the air

Gerhard,
our warm congratulations
hopefully this crash
didn't injure you too much

In Dutch the poem rhymes, but I won't bother trying to make the English translation rhyme, it'd probably take me forever.

*In Holland, a man turning 50 is said to have seen Abraham / be an Abraham... does this exist in other countries, too?
