THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
Another war with the BritishMadison deals with a hot potato
Chapter 19
This big Yank victory made a national hero out of a Yank named xAndrew Jackson,
2aWho was made completely out of hickory,
3And therefore survived all of his enemies’ attempts to kill him,
4Which was a lot of attempts,
5Because Jackson had a lot of enemies,
6Owing to a slight problem he had with his temper,
7Which is to say that he was sort of a maniac,
8bWho fought duels with anyone who disagreed with him,
9cAnd never changed his mind about anyone or anything,
10Because he didn’t have any education.
11This naturally made him a good candidate to be president of the Yanks someday,
12Which we’ll get to later.
