Serienscheine: das schöne Notgeld

Rehburg

Unser Ehren Paster
Raucht sein Pfeifchen Knaster*,
Ist den Musen hold.
Hat ein Häufchen Kinder,
Bücher auch nicht minder,
Aber leider wenig Gold.

Our honorable pastor
smoking his small pipe of hemp,
is in the grip of the Muses.
Has a heap of children,
Books in no small measure,
But sadly little gold.

Great Master and King, Rehburg has but little, Yet he loves you truly, See, we the servants Here before you appear Without deceit and pretense.	Our bailiff, Lueder, without guile and honest Spoke the word like Pitt. Of his spirit's wings, Of his stomach's hills, Missing Goddam! Perhaps from many lords.	Then comes the Assessor with the bayonette and the big hat. Even the East Frisian making a fuss, enjoyed the German feelings and German courage.
Now comes our doctor, Never silent, he never falters, Where dangers threatens. He's the savior of the sick. Avoids not wind nor weather And his look along brings consolation.	Our honorable pastor, smoking his small pipe of hemp, is in the grip of the Muses. Has a heap of children, Books in no small measure, But sadly little gold.	Our mayor, Heinrich Wahlmann he's called, Also stands his ground Even the deputies, Who often push him Marvel at him in awe.
	Noble Senators, Chosen for the city's salvation, Quietly closed the procession. Even in the small circle They serve and wisely Sound their advice and moral counsel.	Look, George, we all: Wahlmann, Suer and Dralle, Lueder, Lauenstein, Schoenian, Pottere Pray you allow us to scream out a cheer!

German Series Note Directory

*Knaster - In the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, the flowers from the production of (cannabis ruderalis) hemp rope fibers were designated as Knaster. These flowers were smoked in a pipe. The THC content was significantly lower than from cannabis indica or sativa. A folk etymology derives the onomatopoeic word, Knaster, from the bursting sound of the burning seeds. Today, Knaster refers to an herb-based, non-tobacco smoking mixture.
