SCHADENFREUDE

 

Schadenfreude is the great pleasure derived

By someone, from another person's misfortune

He thought for a moment, then said

"Oh no I certainly hope not”

In all weathers as wind and hail they braved

And in all the years the two flags silently flew

They never once spoke, they simply waved
