Ingrid Noll birthday poem

I'm Ute,

I'm a huge Betty MacDonald, Ingrid Noll and Wolfgang Hampel fan.

Wolfgang Hampel, Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winning journalist and author of The Betty MacDonald Biography, was on radio with Germany's "Queen of Crime", Ingrid Noll. Both are very witty and interesting personalities. Betty MacDonald would have loved Ingrid Noll's really fascinating books. In case you are interested in the radio show, let us know, please.

Ingrid Noll has written several novels, including Head Count, Hell hath no Fury and The Pharmacist, as well as one television drama, Bommels Billigflüge. Several of her novels have been subsequently adapted as films, including Die Apothekerin, which was released in the United States as The Pharmacist and was nominated for the German Film Award in Gold for outstanding feature film. She has published her first novel-debut in the age of 55 years, which got became great success. Today she is one of the most German appreciated female authors.

We got Wolfgang Hampel's permission to share his very special Ingrid Noll birthday poem with you. Ingrid Noll was delighted and said she never got such a wonderful and witty birthday poem.

Ohne Krimi geht die Mimi nie in's Bett,
das ist wirklich schön und nett,
doch ist es tausend Mal so toll,
geht man in's Bett mit einer Noll.
Ob Hahn ist tot,
ob Röslein rot
und Häupter meiner Lieben,
man ist auf einmal ganz hellwach
und muß den Schlaf verschieben.
Man spürt den kalten Abendhauch
und Apothekerinnen auch,
die nähern sich uns Stich für Stich.
Das ist das richt'ge Gift für mich.
Witwen, Rabenbrüder, Sekretärin
führen manches so im Sinn.
Stets Ladylike ist Ingrid Noll,
die Handlung spannend, immer toll,
welche Fäden sie auch spinnt,
nie d'runter ist ein Kuckuckskind,
hintergründig gut verschlungen
sattelfest in Falschen Zungen.
Das neu'ste, ich wußt' es sofort,
wieder spitze! Ehrenwort!
Ich muß jetzt eines sagen ehrlich.
Als Noll'scher Zwerg lebst Du gefährlich.
Wie konnte man ihn so beglücken?
Der Arme hat 'n Dolch im Rücken.
Wir wünschen Glück und Sonnenschein,
ein langes Leben, niemals Pein,
daß Ihnen fällt stets etwas ein.
Ich bin ein Pascha, doch kein Schwein.

Take care,

Ute
