World War II was the biggestWhere the treasure is buried
Psaying 5W
W is for Wars.
2dIncluding World War II, which was the biggest one,
3eAnd World War I, which was the second biggest one,
4fAnd the Civil War, which saved the union and freed the slaves,
5gAnd the Indian Wars, which pretty well killed off all the Indians, which is unfortunate because they never had a chance anyway,
6hAnd the War of 1812, which was kind of a strange stupid war with the British,
7iAnd the Revolution, which was very very important even if it wasn’t much of a war,
8jAnd the French and Indian War, which was kind of a warm-up for the Revolution,
9kAnd the Franco-Prussian War, which is a big part of the reason why Europe is still so screwed up today,
10lAnd the Napoleonic Wars, which must have been exciting, even if they were as silly as everything else that’s started by the French,
11mNot to mention all the hundreds of other wars the British fought with the French, and everybody else too, including even the Zulus, if you can believe it,
12nAnd the War of the Roses, which killed off oknighthood’s flower, just like Nostradammus predicted,
13pAnd the Crusades. which have always seemed kind of peculiar to me,
14aAnd the Viking Wars, which took place whenever and wherever the Vikings landed their boat,
15bAnd all the wars the Romans fought to build and keep their empire, including the cPunic Wars, I think,
16dWhich must have been a lot like the wars Alexander fought to build the Greek empire,
17eAnd all the wars they’ve fought with each other in the Orient over the years,
18fAnd the middle east, where they started a war about five thousand years ago and haven’t ever stopped yet,
19gAnd I suppose you also have to include the Korean War,
20Although it’s hard to count the wars that people don’t try to win.
21hAnd you already know about the Cold War,
22Which isn’t quite a war exactly,
23iBecause if it ever ends, it will probably be because we just started World War III,
24Which nobody will win,
25jBecause there won’t be much left afterwards.
