Ye stalwart Huns and strident, Who can't come home again, Because base Albion's trident, Though largely on the wane, Still occupies successfully the surface of the main; Give ear, my gallant fellows, While I the truth declare; Britain's expiring bellows Will shortly rend the air; Wiping the earth up then will be a simplified affair. But, while at home our Hunnish Valour obtains the day, It must be yours to punish The craven U.S.A., Debouching on them unawares from Sinaloa way. I make the rough suggestion, And it shall be your care To solve the minor question Of how and when and where, Aided by Gen. CARRANZA, the party with the hair. Some pesos and centavos He will of course demand Before he leads his bravos Across the Rio Grande; Offer the fellow all he wants--in German notes of hand. |
