Latitude



Broad (wide) in German is breit.
Pretty thick is ziemlich dick.
It's becoming a joke is es wird dick
and es geht in die Breite
(brighter, but roll the r) .

There's latitude in a street named Breite.
Broad it may be
but it ain't necessarily so:
it might be becoming, or already be, a joke;
it might be named after some other or bloke.

Breitschultrig ist dick
says one with broad-shoulders is thick.
