THE BOOK OF BLOODY
BRITS
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF THE WHITE MAN’S BURDEN
The Brits are no longer sure
Chapter 56
Unfortunately, things were not okay in Great Britain anymore.
2sThe Germans had knocked down a lot of their cities,
3tAnd the Germans and Japanese had killed a lot of their troops,
4And it seemed to a lot of Brits that duty, honor, and tradition were getting to be pretty expensive and outdated luxuries,
5uEspecially since they had all grown pretty fond of being above it all,
6Before Hitler came along and messed things up,
7And now they were no longer sure of anything,
8vExcept that the hard way had become too hard,
9And the big way was too big for a wlittle country,
10xEspecially now that the United States and the Soviet Union had started throwing their weight around in such an ill-bred fashion.
11yAnd so the Brits politely asked Winston Churchill to go away,
12Immediately,
13Or sooner than that, if possible,
14And then politely dismantled the bankrupt remains of their empire,
15zStuck the White Man’s Burden on a shelf,
16aaAnd stopped trying to be a Chosen Nation altogether,
17bbSo that they could devote all their time to being above it all.
