Luftmensch [etymology note]

Curious as to the exact meaning of Mensch, I looked it up.

For more detailed etymology, I was pointed to Luftmensch.

Which proved an interesting word all its own.

Anyway, then I wrote this:

    it's a matter noted in general
          that where there's a bench
          there's need of a mensch

    in similar sooth perennial
          a placid bench
          could suit a wench

          both wench & mench
          could use a bench
    a certitude millenial
