Correction of English

I have edited the last sentence into correct English (you teach at a school, not on a school), however, the grammar is still confusing. The last sentence includes "to do this", but 'this' is not defined by the context of the previous sentence. Does 'this' refer to creating Double Dutch? If so, this should be explicit. --Savlonn (talk) 13:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poem on the article page not entirely correct

I have the original booklet.

The poem quoted was named: Rot Yong (Dutch: Rotjong or Rotjoch) It was called that way because it's a Dutch expression for 'Naughty Boy'

The original text, according to the booklet is:

A terrible infant called Peter sprinkled his bed with a gheter. His father got woost, took hold of a cnoost, and gave him a pack on his meter.

I don't know if "terrible infant" is a valid English expression as it's French counterpart "Enfant terrible" but the expression, pronounced in French, is well known in the Netherlands. Gheter (Dutch: gieter) = Watering-can (used in gardening). Woost (Dutch: woest) = very angry, wild. Cnoost (Dutch: knoest, knots, knuppel) = club, bludgeon, cudgel. A pack on his meter (Dutch: een pak op z'n mieter) = punishment, spank.
