Franz Schoberlechner (21 July 1797 - 7 Jan 1843) was an Austrian pianist and composer whose wrote in several European cities.
O namenlose Freude!
It was an awful shame
That Schoberlechner’s name
Required an extra fee
To get a new I.D.
When at the DMV.
His name had such a lot
Of letters that the slot
For printing it was not
Long enough to fit it,
And so they had to split it
Before they could admit it.
I hope, by now, that you
Have said, “That can’t be true!
The tale’s anachronistic,”
One needn’t be a mystic
To see through my linguistic
Play with the appellatives
Of Germans and their relatives.
