THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
The Great Depression shows up
Chapter 94
There was also a Yank expatriate named jGertrude Stein,
2Who figured out that the Yanks were basically fools,
3kWho could be fooled all of the time,
4So why not do it,
5As much as possible?
6lSo Gertrude wrote a bunch of peculiar books,
7That were very much admired by the intellectuals back home,
8mAnd discovered a bunch of great artists,
9That were very much admired by the intellectuals back home,
10And by the intellectuals in Europe,
11nWho were tired of seeing things the way they looked on the surface,
12And thought they’d look better in broken little pieces,
13Which seemed like a more accurate depiction of the world.
