Der Wasserschaden
(Ein Gedicht von Dieter Kermas )
.
Das Wasser floss, ganz ohne Pause,
aus einem Rohrbruch bei Herrn Krause.
Der Klempner das Gesicht verzieht,
als er den Wasserschaden sieht.
Als er nun die Rechnung schätzt,
ist Herr Krause recht entsetzt.
Er wird blass, und er spricht:
»Ich bin Dichter, Geld hab ich nicht.«
Der Klempner sieht den Dichter an:
»Ich werd jetzt gehen, guter Mann.
Viel Arbeit muss ich noch verrichten,
und Sie, Sie fangen an zu dichten.«
