This is an Ode about Holland. Rotterdam is the 2nd largest port in the world; Dutch brewery-Heineken is the 3rd largest beer brewer in the world with over 140 breweries in over 70 countries. It is the 2nd most committed foreign aid among the leading 18 Nations according to UNICEF and has been making cheese since 400 A.D to not only be the best globally but also the largest exporter (line 1). Australia and New Zealand were first discovered by the Dutch (line 2). Eindhoven is also known as the “city of Light” because the electronics giant Philips started there with products like light bulbs and also 75% of the world’s flower bulb production comes from Netherlands (line 3). It is the bicycle capital of the world with more bicycles than people (line 4) and the historic windmill capital of the world (line 5). “Netherlands” mean “Low Country” in Dutch (line 6). “Wilhelmus” is the oldest National Anthem in the world (line 7); has the lowest incidence of lactose intolerance (line 9). The Dutch are the tallest in the world with an average of 184cm for men and 170cm for women (line 10). Finally, English is a popular second language in Holland (lines 14 & 15)
Remarkable in brewery and port, foreign aid and cheese production
founders of the twin Giants of the nation within the oceans
having the cultivating- Land of glowing lights;
a global focal point in bicycle riding
and a historic mountain top in windmill usage,
yet named as a glorified settlement but also a low one.
Popular in its mayonnaise pasted French fries, oldest in its Anthem,
first in anything Gin Liquor and biggest in coffee consumption.
Possesses the highest milk tolerance and has the best welcome to children
with the tallest inhabitants within a defined territory in the globe.
The sounds of its difference is worth itching the ear
and the capture of its glory is an amazing nutrient to curiosity.
No need to go local with these factual flattery
b’cos even through these words, it’ll show some comprehension and gratitude.
