gletscherpoesie
Bertholt Brecht

Vergnügungen:

Der erste Blick aus dem Fenster am Morgen
Das widergefundene alte Buch
Begeisterte Gesichter
Schnee, der Wechsel der Jahreszeiten
Die Zeitung
Der Hund
Die Dialektik
Duschen, Schwimmen
Alte Musik
Bequeme Schuhe
Begreifen
Neue Musik
Schreiben, Pflanzen
Reisen
Singen
Freundlich sein


(from Kelly December 29, 2008)Yesterday I was at a Harp concert in the citadella where I also played. The mood was really cool, because of the old caslte feel, and the harpist was very good. Durring the program, he read a poem that I think Mom would enjoy. It is as follows:

A Christmas Gedicht for You:

When the snow falls wunderbar,
and the children happy are,
when the Glatteis on the street,
and we all a Glühwein need.
Then yuo know, es ist soweit,
She is here, the Weihnachtszeit.

Every Parkhaus is besetzt,
weil die People fahren jetzt,
all to Kaufhof, Mediamarkt,
kriegen nearly Herzinfakt,
Shopping hirnverbrannte things,
and the Christmasglocke rings.

Mother in the kitchen bakes,
Schoko-, Nuss- and Mandelkeks.
Daddy in the Nebenraum,
schmückt a Riesen-Weichnachtsbaum.
He is hanging auf the balls,
then from the Leiter falls!

Finally the Kinderlein,
to the Zimmer kommen rein.
And es sings the family,
schauerlich: "Oh, Christmastree!"
And the jeder in the house,
is packing die Geschenke aus.

Mama finds under the Tanne,
eine brandnew Teflon-Pfanne.
Papa gets a Schlips and Socken,
everybody does frohlocken.
Bundespräsident speaks on T.V;
all around is Harmonie.
Bis mother in the kitchen runs:
Im Ofen burns the Weihnachtsgans!

And so comes the Feuerwehr,
with tatü - tata daher.
And they bring a long, long Schlauch,
and a long, long Leiter auch.
And they schreien: "Wasser marsch!"
So is Christmas now im...Eimer...

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas;
hear the music, see the lights,
Frohe Weihnacht, frohe Weihnacht,
Merry Christmas allerseits.
