Napoleon wants to be French
Chapter 13
The Jacobins kept track of all this history by knitting it all down as it rolled out of the eguillotine,
2Which was a fine Frog breakthrough in fashion,
3fBut wasn’t doing much to clothe and feed the masses,
4Who had stopped slaving in the fields to watch gheads being cut off by the guillotine in Paris.
5This led to the temporary abandonment of rule by hdemocracy in favor of rule by directorate,
6iWhich means “And you thought the Jacobins were bad news…”
7As it turned out, rule by directorate didn’t improve conditions very much either, jexcept that there were now many fewer hungry, naked peasants than before,
8And eventually there were also fewer directors,
9kWhat with lMarat slipping on a knife in his bathtub,
10And mRobespierre naccidentally falling under the guillotine,
11And soon.
12All of which meant that France was finally ready for Napoleon Bonaparte.
