THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
Kennedy doesn’t take any guffKennedy does other exciting things
Chapter 147
lKennedy turned out to be a very popular president with the Yanks,
2Who maybe thought he was like a symbol of themselves,
3Because he was young,
4And successful,
5And in charge,
6And always trying to do the right thing,
7But not taking any guff from anybody,
8Like with the Russkies,
9mWho tried to put some nuclear missiles in Cuba,
10Only Kennedy told them to back off,
11Because he had his finger on the button,
12And would push it if they pushed him,
13Which explains why there was a period lasting about two weeks when the whole world held its breath,
14And closed its eyes,
15aAnd prayed to every deity Mankind has ever worshiped,
16bDating all the way back to the first pointed stick of the first civilization,
17Wondering if the Yanks were really willing to annihilate the world over a point of pride,
18cWhich they were,
19As the Russkies eventually realized,
20Right before they backed down,
21dThus allowing the whole world to breathe the biggest sigh of relief in history.
