For everybody in the "Songs" Conversation
First of all thanks to Dave, Sandy and Ben for your suggestions. I am going
to spend some time over the 4th of July weekend playing with it.
Jos, thanks for the expanded text of the song. I now have something to sing
in the shower. (Sarie Mareis was getting to be old hand.) I did recover a
melody on a website of Belgian student songs, but somehow the meter did not
quite fit. Not to worry I have adapted it so that it does. We shall warble
on!.
Ron, I had a brother... enough said. Gabriele, thanks for the moral support.
We shall survive.
Greetings to all. Jacqueline

Haai julle,

Jan van Atten, ja, ons plus-50 Afrikaanssprekendes ken 'die kat kom weer,
want hy wou nie langer wag', en dit was nog in my ouers se FAK sangbundel.
Ons het ook nog 'Piet Hein' en ander liedjies gesing.

Ons sing dit nie meer nie, want dis nie meer deel van die Afrikaanse
kultuur nie.

Groete,
Elsie Zinsser

>Regarding Suid-Afrikaans, I wonder if someone knows the song "De kat kwam

Gabrielle wrote 'whipping people into shape, today the lowlandslist, and
tomorrow the world right?" Middelsprake is only the beginning.

Gabrielle, you are very upset about something. I notice, but I do not know
what is really upsetting you. Middelsprake is a very penetrating and
superficial thing, but what has it to do with your anger.

Please explain me for I think we have a severe point of quarrel between
dominant and less dominant lanquages.
Even if the dominancy originates in the believers in less dominant
lanquages.

Maar ze is toch helemaal niet eenzam, en zeker niet wanhopig - 't is er
dagelijks feest - met allemaal van die mooie beesten! Ook al zit ze er
meestal helemaal niet in, want er zijn ergens anders nog een heleboel
belangrijke dingen te doen ook. En vergeet niet, elanden zijn grote beesten,
en bang voor bijna niks.

...en wat de gekkenvrijheid betreft, had Wilhelm Busch groot gelijk toen hij
zei:

"Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert,
lebt sich's völlig ungeniert."

Jy sal so hoop!

No, in fact a few personal problems of the usual sort (nothing to worry
about any more) have caused a distraction over the past month or three,
and I hope to start communicating again real soon now.

But I met a lovely Afrikaaner-goth in London on Friday who put me up to this
mischief  :)

She seems very interested in joining the list now, so it may not all be
for nothing!

Sandy, you skellum!  I did fall into this one, huh?

And another goth on the List?!  If you don't watch it our Arthur will try
to make Goths out of you goths.
