And here's another thing from the "future" .... this is the "answer" to a translation task I am going to put on here in the future .... here we go ..
Here's the original first verse of that poem .... don't worry if your version isn't exactly like it ... nor was mine for that matter .....
Growltiger was a Bravo Cat, who travelled on a barge:
In fact he was the roughest cat that ever roamed at large.
From Gravesend up to Oxford he pursued his evil aims,
Rejoicing in his title of " The Terror of the Thames".
I think the "translator-into-German did a good job ... especially making it rhyme as well.
