~ Der Mensch sei wie der Gockelhahn ~
 
The human uses a little self serving imagination on this Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein designed by Carl Moos ca. early 1900's.
 
Der Mensch sei wie der Gockelhahn -
so er einen Trunk getan -
blick' er fromm nach oben.
The human is like a rooster -
thus he takes a drink -
so he can glance piously from above.
