by Wilhelm Busch (1832 - 1908)

Der alte Förster Püsterich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der alte Förster Püsterich
Der ging nach langer Pause
Mal wieder auf den Schnepfenstrich
Und brachte auch

Als er sie nun gebraten hätt,
Da tät ihn was verdreußen;
Das Tierlein roch wie sonst so nett,
Nur konnt er's nicht mehr beißen.

Ach ja! So seufzt er wehgemut
Und wischt sieh ab die Träne,
Die Nase wär so weit noch gut,
Nur bloß, es fehlen die Zähne.
