He is a German author, comedian, cabaret artist and slam poet from Heidelberg. The poem is part of his book Satire is my favorite animal - Satirical Poems, which was published in 2018. The poem is a humorous comparison between a snake and a mother-in-law, both known by their sound. The poem is an example of Wolfgang Hampel's very humorous style, which often uses everyday situations and language games. The word Babble Snake is a neologism created by Wolfgang Hampel, which he used in his poem. He put it together from the words chatter and snake to create a humorous term for a mother-in-law who talks a lot. Wolfgang Hampel was so fascinated by the words 'Klapper' and 'Blapper' that he used it that way. He has created an original and funny expression that fits his satirical style.
