Oh Stephen, what a marvellous poem.
Your poem reminds me of a song from my childhood, sung in Ruhrpott slang by Tana Schanzara… so delightful… here is the translation, and if you want to treat yourself to the song, here’s the link to listen, too.

Father!
Father, get up!
Father, will you finally get up now?
Get up! My God, every damn morning the same show!

Father, you’re supposed to get up now! Damn it!

TV till the middle of the night and in the morning you won’t get out of bed!
Get up right now, or you’ll be sorry!
Father, you’re gonna be late for work!

Father, I’m telling you this for the very last time!
Get up or something will happen!
Father! Father! — A shot!

Well then, Father, now you can stay in bed.


Regards,
Rolph
