Mein guter Freund
(Ein Gedicht von Dieter Kermas)
.
Wie lange wartet schon Hermine,
dass ich bei ihr zum Schwatz erschiene.
Leider wohnt sie j.w.d.,
ganz dort hinten, hinterm See.
Einst war der Weg sehr schnell geschafft,
heut sind die Beine ohne Kraft.
Ich werde meinen Freund nun fragen
und bitten, mich dorthin zu tragen.
Schweigend lädt er mich dann ein,
sein froher Passagier zu sein.
Die Landschaft fliegt an uns vorbei,
bin wieder jung und sorgenfrei.
Gleich bin ich nicht mehr so alleine,
dank meines Freundes Gummibeine!
