    W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie
    I Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie.

    Wół go pyta: „Panie chrząszczu,
    Po co pan tak brzęczy w gąszczu?”

    Lecz nie zastał chrząszcza w trzcinie,
    Bo chrząszcz właśnie brzęczał w Pszczynie.

    Yea, it is whole poem.
    First two lines and the first thing which an average sadistic Pole will tell a foreigner to say

    Chrząszcz
    Jan Brzechwa

    W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie
    I Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie.

    Wół go pyta: „Panie chrząszczu,
    Po co pan tak brzęczy w gąszczu?”

    „Jak to - po co? To jest praca,
    Każda praca się opłaca”.

    „A cóż za to pan dostaje?”


    „Też pytanie! Wszystkie gaje,
    Wszystkie trzciny po wsze czasy,
    Łąki, pola oraz lasy,
    Nawet rzeczki, nawet zdroje,
    Wszystko to jest właśnie moje!”

    Wół pomyślał: „Znakomicie,
    Też rozpocznę takie życie”.
    Wrócił do dom i wesoło
    Zaczął brzęczeć pod stodołą
    Po wolemu, tęgim basem.
    A tu Maciek szedł tymczasem.


    Jak nie wrzaśnie: „Cóż to znaczy?
    Czemu to się wół próżniaczy?!”
    „Jak to? Czyż ja nic nie robię?
    Przecież właśnie brzęczę sobie!”

    „Ja ci tu pobrzęczę, wole,
    Dosyć tego! Jazda w pole!”

    I dał taką mu robotę,
    Że się wół oblewał potem.

    Po robocie pobiegł w gąszcze.
    „Już ja to na chrząszczu pomszczę!”


    Lecz nie zastał chrząszcza w trzcinie,
    Bo chrząszcz właśnie brzęczał w Pszczynie.

    The first line means verbaly: ""In [the town of] Szczebrzeszyn a beetle sounds in the reed".

    He has now even two statues in Szczebrzeszyn...

    Not exactly, becasue when you say, that sz, cz, dż, ż is hard and ś, ć, ź, dź is soft, comparing
    both, then people usually think, that it is sz', cz' dż', ż'. And it is not. It is different softness.

    Even Pawlak was confused when he landed in US, and started to pronounced sh (sz') insted of sz...

    Pre-war Polish accent
    It was South Kresy (Lwów) accent, adopted in movie industry:
