Analysis of DER HANSEAT II



Griechisch liebte er und auch das Latein –
von der Emmastraße kanns nicht sein!
Zeichnen tut er, macht Musik dazu –
woher er das hat, weiß ich nicht im Nu.

Andres, vielleicht, wer weiß es, kams
von der Straße des Johannes Brahms.
Viel zu ernst, ein wahrer Trauerkloß,
hing er stets an seiner Mutters Schoß.

Baumgarten hat ihn nicht gedüngt,
so auch nicht Kaemena.
So stand er ganz verjüngt
Einfach nur als Kalbfuss da!

Eine dralle Deern der Brauerei
wechselte das öde Einerlei.
So kam andres in die Stammesfolge
als nur Pfarrerstöchter mit Gefolge.
