The Austrians pull on their lower lip
Chapter 21
And then there was fBismarck,
2gWho decided that the Prussians had had enough practice,
3And should start taking everything over as soon as possible,
4Including Austria,
5hWhich didn’t actually disappear but suddenly became one of Prussia’s closest allies,
6iAnd also including all the Krauts who had been too busy eating pork and beer to get organized as a nation,
7And all the Krauts who had always been too preoccupied with culture to care about the destiny of the Fatherland,
8jNot to mention certain parts of France,
9kWhich Bismarck added to the Fatherland by winning the Franco-Prussian War,
10lWhich was especially humiliating to the Frogs,
11Who had somehow gotten the idea that no one would bother them now that they had another emperor named Napoleon,
12Which turned out not to be true,
13And proved that the Krauts were now a large, powerful, unified nation,
14In fact, a mChosen Nation,
15Called Germany.
