German-Speak Poem by Douglas Scotney
German-Speak
The final e is uh,
ie is e as in knee,
ei is i as in night,
z is ts,
w is v,
and like the u in hurt, is oe.
Goethe rhymes with hurter,
Nietzsche with beats plus shut (with a silent t) ,
Hesse is like the Besser in Block,
and if you say Weiss like vice,
in Germany you'll rock.
