Welcome, and put your lug wrench under a Faraday shield. And reading the rules is a good idea.

Christian Morgenstern

Der Werwolf

Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich 
von Weib und Kind, und sich begab
an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab 
und bat ihn: Bitte, beuge mich!
Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf 
auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf 
und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten 
geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:
"Der Werwolf", - sprach der gute Mann, 
"des Weswolfs"- Genitiv sodann, 
"dem Wemwolf" - Dativ, wie man's nennt, 
"den Wenwolf" - damit hat's ein End.'
Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle, 
er rollte seine Augenbälle. 
Indessen, bat er, füge doch 
zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!
Der Dorfschulmeister aber mußte 
gestehn, daß er von ihr nichts wußte. 
Zwar Wölfe gäb's in großer Schar, 
doch "Wer" gäb's nur im Singular.
Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind - 
er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!! 
Doch da er kein Gelehrter eben, 
so schied er dankend und ergeben.

Huh. Hadn't scrolled down. Thank you! I feel the first in the comments is the most accurate.

hehehe, als Freund der Feinheiten der deutschen Sprache gefällt mir dieses Gedicht sehr.

but, seeing how German welcoming has already been more than covered, I'll just do it in English: welcome to the forums!
