Wenn das Rhinozeross, das schlimme
Dich kriegen will in seinem Grimme
Dann steig auf einen Baum bei Zeiten
sonst hast Du Unannehmlichkeiten.

When I am dead, know
that many times, I
have kissed & cryed
over this. C. D.

The France

Russians have a difficult time describing just how massively big their country is. To get the right scale across, they don't use miles or kilometers, they use France. This is unofficial, but they liked to describe units of land in their Siberian regions by saying, "Twice the size of France." (http://io9.com/5827925/ten-unbelievably-strange-units-of-measurement)
