| Prompt ▼ I knew where the verbs went and adjective endings, both case and declension unerringly rending. My grasp of grammatik was quite without par, It's just a damn shame 'bout the vokabular. A visit to Deutschland soon flushed out the problem; I'd stand there quite speechless, a linguistic golem. From menus to shopping, from signposts to guides, my face would be red as a mandrill's backside. I'd stutter and stammer and pull silly faces, with pointing and hand gestures filling the spaces. The cop-out solution brought failure's harsh sting, as every damn noun was replaced by a "thing". So "ein Ding", "zwei Dinge", "die Dinge da drüben", was met with amusement and some disapprovin'. A good grasp of grammar is hardly much use if knowledge of vocab's a sorry excuse. Form: There probably is a name for it out there somewhere. A quick internet search tells me it's two lines amphibrachic tetrameter then two lines amphibrachic tetrameter catalectic, with a-a-b-b rhyme. (Well, it certainly sounds more impressive than "doggerel".) Lines: 16 |
