German Laughter Poem by Douglas Scotney
German Laughter
The first laugh
in my first German class
came via ‘Vater';
the second from ‘Er fahrt'.
The third was provided
by the umlaut in ‘Führer' -
it sort of looked like his tache.
As we laughed,
the teacher yelled, ‘Endlich Erwichsen! Finally Grow Up! '
After 3 laughs, there came no more.
He actually meant ‘Erwachsen'.
If we knew then that ‘wichsen' meant ‘wank',
what he yelled would have started 4.
Vater = fatherer fahrt = he drives (goes) .
tache = moustache
