THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
The Yanks remember the AlamoThe slavery thing crops up again
Chapter 31
Of course, it wasn’t just Spics who got pushed out of the way by vManifest Destiny.
2For example, the Yanks also manifested their destiny in wCanada,
3By appropriating Washington or some northwestern state like that,
4xFor some excellent reason, no doubt,
5Which the Canucks didn’t care for,
6But the Yanks have never cared much about the Canucks’ opinion anyway,
7Because what can you say about people who have that much land,
8And never tried, even once, to manifest their destiny,
9But just went tromping around on snowshoes instead?
10Besides, most of the people who lived in Canada were yFrogs or something,
11zExcept for the ones who went there because they really liked the thought of being oppressed from three thousand miles away by a ahalf-witted Brit king,
12Which sort of explains why bCanada never really had a destiny,
13Or any history to speak of,
14Or anything but a bunch of Frogs on snowshoes.
