40 Jahre Goethe-Institut Neuseeland
John Jamieson

Goethe’s the institute’s name
That nurtures old Germany’s fame
Mixing grammar and pleasure
With strict equal measure
Rewriting the rules of the game

Directors, they come and they go,
But it’s the locals that we’ve come to know
Inspirational teaching
And constant outreaching
They put on one hell of a show!
