Napoleon resigns from his job
Chapter 18
Excited by the glorious demise of the Grande Armée in Russia, thousands of gnew troops joined Napoleon for a series of battles against every country in Europe.
2The new Grande Armée fought in the most valiant Frog tradition,
3hWhich is to say they lost, causing Napoleon to iresign from his job and move to the island of Elba,
4Safely tucked away in the Mediterranean,
5Miles from the French coastline,
6jWhere everyone would be safe from him,
7Except that he escaped,
8kSomehow,
9And got all the way back to France,
10lWhere the glory of it all convinced the army to join him once again,
11mFor another hundred days,
12nUntil oWaterloo,
13pWhere the last of Napoleon’s glory slipped away down a sunken road,
14qCausing him to resign from his job a second time and move to the island of St. Helena,
15Safely tucked away in the Atlantic Ocean,
16rMany thousands of miles from the French coastline,
17sWhere everyone would be safe from him,
18Except that the Frogs never forgot him,
19tAnd remembered him fondly,
20uFor some reason,
21vWhich suggests that Frogs are every bit as dumb as they are silly
