“ Ven I dake oup mine pipe for a goot qviet shmoke Dhey crawl me all ofer, und dink id a shoke To go droo mine bockets to see vot dhey find, Und if mit der latch-key mine vatch dhey can vind. Id dakes someding more as dheir fader und moder To qviet dot Otto und his leedle broder. Dhey shtub oudt dheir boots, und vear holes in der knees Off dheir drousers und shtockings, und sooch dings as dhese. I dink if dot Crœsus vas lifing to-day,: Dhose poys make more bills as dot Kaiser could pay; I find me qvick oudt dot some riches dake vings, Ven each gouple a tays I must buy dhem new dings. ”
