The Yanks lose interest in EuropeProhibition makes the Yanks thirsty
Chapter 84
The way the Yanks looked at it.
2qThe Krauts had killed a few hundred Yanks,
3rAnd the Yanks had therefore been obligated to get even,
4sNo matter how much it cost,
5tAlthough one hundred thousand doughboys was a little on the high side,
6Any way you looked at it,
7But at least it was over now,
8uAnd settled,
9vAnd time to go back to making money and other important things like that,
10wBecause who needs Europe anyway,
11And it’s just not smart to be involved with them on any continuing basis,
12Since they’re all obviously crazy,
13And what’s in it for the Yanks,
14Except grief and heartache?
