I used to listen to a recording of that ad nauseam when I was in my early
teens--sung by Carl Sandburg: a fine piece of work that I'd like to find
again. It continues (from the above):

ven I valk down de street, all de peeple I meet say, "Hey--Vat's-a you
name?"...ent I say ""My name is Yahn Yahnson, I live in Visconsin, I vurk
in de lumbah mills dere..."

...thus the ad nauseam.

A rose is a rose.
