THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
A Yank generation gets lost somehowThe Great Depression shows up
Chapter 92
For example, there was a Yank expatriate named oErnest Hemingway,
2Who figured out that war was pretty awful,
3pSince war is an inevitable part of life,
4qWhich is also basically awful,
5rBecause things keep happening,
6And a lot of the things that happen are just stragicomic accidents,
7tLike maybe your arms get shot off in World War I,
8uOr maybe you lose the love of your life in childbirth during World War I,
9Or something like that,
10aWhich doesn’t really mean anything,
11bSo you have to kind of put up with it,
12cAnd be very very picky about what kind of alcohol you drink before, during, and after your meal.
