It's a poem, but each line is from a different language-consequently I'm not going to transcribe it.
But there is a question-'Which Poem'.
I think that it is:

Each line was from a different language.

I can't read any of it off the card catalog.
The very earliest possible day I'll get this card (if I'm lucky) is next Saturday.

You know the moment i looked at this one i felt knew the answer,
the way the length of lines scanned,
then the picture helped too,
so i just gulped & typed in my answer
It was right! what an exilarating rush

I had the same experience as jaykay2, just an inspiration with no real reason. Then, looking at it closer, I was confirmed in my beliefs by the picture and lines 5 and 7, and even the title of the card, and decided to try it, and as I suspected, I was right.
What else could it possibly have been, if you think about it? I think this is my new favorite

8th grade english class helped. I was really bored in the class and spent the class period memorizing this poem. I looked at it for about a minute before the punctuation gave me a hint, and then like the others, I looked at the picture and knew I had it.
That was a total blast!

Has anyone else spotted the hidden message "Fade away and say danger fear hide"?

I found if you translate each line in the poem, and form an acronym based on the languages used, you get :
Finish
Afrikaans
Dutch
Esperanto
Afrikaans
Welsh
Afrikaans
Yiddish
etc...
Does anyone know what this means?

I was along the same lines, but I only read line 2.
There was something familiar about the way 'Drool en drinkel in die weib' rolls off the tongue.
