Laughed so hard my stomach hurt.
Aside from the Zusammenschreibung, seems to work in English, too.
…Once upon a time, in a little village, there lived a girl named Barbara. Barbara was known far and wide for her excellent rhubarb pie. Since everyone so loved eating Barbara’s rhubarb pie, she came to be known as Rhubarb Barbara. Rhubarb Barbara soon realized that she could be making money with her Rhubarb pies, and so she opened up a snack bar, calling it Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar.
…Quite naturally, Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar quickly gained a devoted following, of which the most famous were three certain other Barbaras. They so frequently came to Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar to enjoy Rhubarb Barbara’s rhubarb pie that people soon named them the Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras.
…Now these Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras had the most gorgeous, luxuriant beards. When the Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras wished to have their beards fashioned, they would visit the barber. As the one and only barber capable of dressing Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ beards, and wishing in no wise to keep this distinction secret, he began speaking of himself as the Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber.
...And so, once Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beards have been all trimmed, off the Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber would nearly always go with the Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras to Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar, there to indulge along with those Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras in Rhubarb Barbara’s irresistible rhubarb pie
…Now this Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber had a secret passion for brewing beer. His became quite popular, and people everywhere would simply call it Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber Beer. “If Rhubarb Barbara can do it, surely so can I!” thought Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber, and so, just beside Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar he opened up his own Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar. He likewise gained a loyal following, including three barber colleagues that so often came and sat in his Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar, drinking Rhubarb Barbara’s Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer, that people would call them Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar Barbers.
…Then one day an old Berber came along and pummeled the Rhubarb Barbara’s Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar Barber. Even today the villagers retell the story of the Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar Barbers' Berber.
…Sentenced to prison, the Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar Barbers' Berber found he had a taste for gardening, and most particularly for the cultivation of rhubarb. The Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar Barbers' Berber’s rhubarb had such good flavor that Rhubarb Barbara used it exclusively in her snack bar, re-dubbed as Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar Barbaras’ Beard Barber's Beer Bar Barbers' Berber’s Rhubarb Barbara’s Bar.
...Would that my kid weren’t so far beyond the tell-me-a-bedtime-story stage!
