Chapter 4
qAfter there wasn’t a Roman Empire to smash up anymore, the barbarians had to find a new way to make a living.
2So they decided to smash up some other places,
3Like rBritain, and sFrance, and tGermany.
4But it turned out that there weren’t too many places like Rome,
5Which could be smashed up again and again,
6And again and again,
7uAnd again,
8Unless Vikings were involved, that is,
9vBecause there wasn’t anyplace so tiny or remote or worthless that the Vikings wouldn’t find some way to get to it,
10And smash it up again and again,
11And again and again,
12And again,
13wJust for the pure joyous fun of it all.
14But the xothers eventually got tired of running around all the time,
15And finally decided to stay where they were for a while,
16And try being yNations,
17Which is why we have zEurope,
18It being the place where all the barbarians decided to live.
