The Berlin Boomerang is the hot new drink replacing the
Moscow Mule.
It’s composed of two parts schapps, a dash of sauerKraut
juice and a double pinch of bitters.
It's a favorite of Angela Merkel, the Iron Chancellor 2.0.

It’s often an apertif drink with the new Athenian dessert,
Brokelava.
You follow a baklava recipe, but cut out 30 percent of the
butter and don’t add the almonds or pistachios.
After it’s baked, you relayer it, add the nuts, but then
take 90 percent back out.
Germans love its austere taste; Greek tax collectors love it
after they chase it with three shots of ouzo.
Meanwhile, the European Union has recognized that a weak
financial union looks like the United States’ old Articles of Confederation.
Some folks are pushing for fuller unification.
To start it off, they have proposed a new “national” anthem
for the Eurozone.
Euro, Euro über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von Ebro bis Ägäisch,
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt!
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von Ebro bis Ägäisch,
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt!
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt!
Über alles in der Welt!
(Translated, first the original, then mine:
Germany, Germany above all things,
Above everything in the world,
when, for protection and defense,
it always stands brotherly together .
From the Meuse to the Memel,
From the Adige to the Belt,
Germany, Germany above all things,
Above everything in the world!
Above everything in the world,
when, for protection and defense,
it always stands brotherly together .
From the Meuse to the Memel,
From the Adige to the Belt,
Germany, Germany above all things,
Above everything in the world!
Germany, Germany above all things,
Above everything in the world!
Above everything in the world!
Euro, Euro above all things,
Above everything in the world,
when, for protection and defense,
it always stands brotherly together.
From the Meuse to the Memel,
From Ebro to Aegean

Voila! European Union! Best pictured when sung by the Iron Chancellor 2.0.
