1557 - Germany calling

There's been a season of programmes lately
On the TV all about Germany
I've missed many but I've seen two or three
The scenic walks of Julia Bradbury
Up the Rhine, and to Neuschwanstein lastly
While pub landlord comedian Al Murray
Has travelled by car, therefore more widely
Past snowy mountains, forests of fir tree...
Frederick the Great, Ludwig's insanity
Lots of Wagner, complete with valkyries
Less Goethe, Schiller, Nietzsche; literary
Men perhaps rather dull for BBC
In-depth treatment. The main effect on me
Is that I'd like to go there presently
