Letztes Jahr habe ich mal zum Spass ein Gedicht auswendig gelernt. Während des putzens habe ich es eingeübt. Das Problem ist nur, das meine Aussprache so ohne Hilfe, sicher nicht richtig ist. Aber das Gedicht finde ich so witzig, das ich dachte, ich setzte es mal hier rein.
Kennt ihr Roald Dahl ?

The Pig
 

  In England once there lived a big
And wonderfully clever pig.
To everybody it was plain
That Piggy had a massive brain.
He worked out sums inside his head,
There was no book he hadn't read.
He knew what made an airplane fly,
He knew how engines worked and why.
He knew all this, but in the end
One question drove him round the bend:
He simply couldn't puzzle out
What LIFE was really all about.
What was the reason for his birth?
Why was he placed upon this earth?
His giant brain went round and round.
Alas, no answer could be found.
Till suddenly one wondrous night.
All in a flash he saw the light.
He jumped up like a ballet dancer
And yelled, "By gum, I've got the answer!"
"They want my bacon slice by slice
"To sell at a tremendous price!
"They want my tender juicy chops
"To put in all the butcher's shops!
"They want my pork to make a roast
"And that's the part'll cost the most!
"They want my sausages in strings!
"They even want my chitterlings!
"The butcher's shop! The carving knife!
"That is the reason for my life!"
Such thoughts as these are not designed
To give a pig great piece of mind.
Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland,
A pail of pigswill in his hand,
And piggy with a mighty roar,
Bashes the farmer to the floor…
Now comes the rather grizzly bit
So let's not make too much of it,
Except that you must understand
That Piggy did eat Farmer Bland,
He ate him up from head to toe,
Chewing the pieces nice and slow.
It took an hour to reach the feet,
Because there was so much to eat,
And when he finished, Pig, of course,
Felt absolutely no remorse.
Slowly he scratched his brainy head
And with a little smile he said,
"I had a fairly powerful hunch
"That he might have me for his lunch.
"And so, because I feared the worst,
"I thought I'd better eat him first."

Ja, kenn ich. Ist allerdings schon eine Weile her. Da habe ich so ziemlich jedes Kinderbuch von ihm gelesen. Aber, ich glaube, mein Lieblingsbuch von ihm ist "Mathilda".

Nichts schöneres wie ein gutes Kinderbuch. "Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomitivführer",oder so gut wie jedes Buch von Astrid Lindgren.
Als Kind hab ich diese Sachen nie gelesen. Und jetzt...ich glaub ich werde alt. :-)))


16-Version von Schweinchen Babe

Da hast du so recht. *lol*
Vielleicht sollte man das auch mal verfilmen.

Mathilda hab ich nur als Film gesehn aber hab schon öfters gehört das das sein bestes Buch sein soll. Sophiechen und der Riese ist allerdings das einzige, dass ich von ihm gelesen habe.

Astrid Lindgren mochte ich auch sehr. Als Kind waren meine Lieblingsbücher die Kinder aus der Krachmacherstraße und Wir Kinder von Bullerbü. Hab sie allerdings schon lange nicht mehr gelesen. Vielleicht sollte ich sie mal wieder ausgraben?
