De esthetische wezel
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Zat een wezeltje alleen
Te wezelen op een steen
Wees en wezelloos in een
Weet jij misschien
Waarheen, waarvoor?
Een Tuttemien
Gaf ongezien mij door
Zachtjes in mijn oor :
Het was het door --
gewinterd beest
Alleen om rijm te doen geweest.
