YANKEES Chapter 78

OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY

Wilson has some ideas about peace
Chapter 78
One hundred thousand dead doughboys later,
2The Krauts surrendered,
3gWhich is to say, they signed an armistice,
4Because Krauts don’t like to surrender,
5hEven when they’re whipped.
6Of course, the actual terms of the peace treaty still had to be worked out,
7Which Wilson had a lot of iideas about,
8jBecause he really wasn’t kidding about the war to end all wars,
9kAnd making the world safe for democracy,
10And other stuff like that.
11Of course, the other Allies had some ideas of their own,
12lEspecially the Frogs.
