I do not know if the David Cram who translated this is the person who wrote the delightful ditty about eating toast in bare feet
from Die Schnupftabakdose (The Snuff-box; 1912)
The Ants
Two ants from Central London planned
A visit to Van Diemen’s Land,
But on their way down Oxford Street
They both got blisters on their feet,
And so they wisely thought they’d skip
The last leg of their walking trip
Joachim Ringelnatz
Translated by David Cram
