Vintage Mitterteich Bavaria Porcelain Decorative Plate 7 3/4" Lied der Schwaben

Description

GERMANY - BAVARIA HUMOROUS COLLECTOR PLATE "LIED DER SCHWABEN" Mitterteich is manufacturer (see picture of back of plate).
Here is the English Translation:
THE SONG OF THE SWABIANS
Do know the land where laughter reigns
Where Spaetzle are made of liver and no one complains
Where Fritzle is the name for kids that fits
Where logs are still used for taking sh*ts
Where Baenkle is the word for bench
And every train a Zuegle
Where onion cake gives off a stench
And cider comes in Kruegle
Where "stupid sow" and "kiss my *ss"
Are said with every breath
Where every single soul, alas,
Just works himself to death.
The Schwob will pinch the Pfennigs hard
And starve just to be thrifty
To build a small house in his yard
But break the ground at fifty.
The job once done, he rests his hand
His *ssh*le closes tight
O Swabia, the Promised Land
You're really out of sight.
