THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
MacArthur goes senile in KoreaIke takes a nap
Chapter 136
With the mnext election coming up pretty fast, Truman needed one more completely decisive decision to cement his place in history,
2nAnd so he decided not to run,
3Because it didn’t look like he was going to get to do anything really decisive in Korea before the election,
4aAnd with all those Yank troops just hanging around the 38th parallel,
5The Yanks as a whole were getting restless,
6bAnd wondering why MacArthur didn’t just drop an A-Bomb or two on the Chinks and the Koreans,
7cAnd get it all over with,
8dAnd come home,
9Just like always,
10Only it wasn’t that simple,
11Because somehow or other,
12eThe Russkies had got hold of some A-Bombs of their own,
13And if the Yanks dropped some,
14The Russkies might drop some too,
15fAnd then the fat would be in the fire,
16gWhich meant that it was time for the hmost decisive president in U.S. history to retire,
17And get it all over with,
18iAnd go home,
19Just like always.
