16. Gemeinheit! (Mean Trick!)
In den blanken Kopf Cassanders,
Dessen Schrein die Luft durchzetert,
Pierrot mit Heuchlermienen,
Zärtlich - einen Schädelbohrer!
Darauf stopft er mit dem Daumen
Seinen echten türkischen Taback
In den blanken Kopf Cassanders,
Dessen Schrein die Luft durchzetert!
Dann dreht er ein Rohr von Weichsel
Hinten in die glatte Glatze
Und behäbig schmaucht und pafft er
Seinen echten türkischen Taback
Aus dem blanken Kopf Cassanders!
In Cassander's polished skull
While his cries shriek through the air
Pierrot, the hypocrite, bores
Tenderly,--with a trepan!
Then he tamps down with his thumbs
His genuine Turkish tobacco
In Cassander's polished skull
While his cries shriek through the air!
Then he twists a perfumed cherry pipestem
Into the glossy baldspot
And comfortably smokes and puffs on
His genuine Turkish tobacco
In Cassander's polished skull!
