Even Eva Could Not Evade His Evil

Eva, did you slip off your shoes for this

buffoon who bluffed the greater world to piss

its pants for fear?  In his boundless conceit,

he did not even bother with a kiss

of delectation to your stockinged feet.

And then, amid his failed Reich's final strife,

the bastard led you to take your own life.
