Proposal for new Dutch anthem





Feeling poetic today. At times I have the irrepressible urge to write, which usually are poetic impulses or sometimes literal ideas that demand to come out and be recorded. Their nature is quite varied and unpredictable. I propose this little scribble to be the new Dutch anthem, since I find the current one rather off. I think it will best be accompanied by wind instruments, like trumpets, slide trombones and tubas. Perhaps some sort of flute would fit in snugly as well. I admit it is rather short, but in being concise, the matches of the national soccer team can start with less of the boring and annoying pre-match mumbo jumbo. And the lyrics being in English instead of Dutch does not really bother me, because a good fart is worth the pain in the ass and I believe this one actually is.
