Ode to a Chicken Bouillon (in German)





















Ich bin ein Huehnerbruehwuerfel
Quadratisch
Unbeweglich
Ein gewuerzter crouton
In Folie eingewickelt
In einem Glas versiegelt
Suppenpotential
Manche Leute sind minestrone
Manche Leute sind Fischsuppe
Ich könnte Brühe sein
Gib mir Wasser und lass mich frei

Translation made by author Suzanne Kraus Mancuso and revised by German natives and freelance translators Dorit and Erika Rein

I am a chicken bouillon
Square
Unmoving
A flavored crouton
Wrapped in tin foil
Sealed in a jar
Soup potential
Some people are minestrone
Some people are chowder
I am broth to be
Give me water and set me free


In its original English version written by Dan Allen


I am a Huehnerbruehwuerfel
Squarely
Immovably
A peppered crouton
In foil eingewickel
In a glass seals
Soup potential.
Some people are minestrone
Some people are fish soup
I am bruehe
Give me water and release me
