Franklin Roosevelt gets reelected
Chapter 99
By now, of course, the hexpatriates were all back home,
2Because strange things were happening in Europe,
3And there were fascists all over the place,
4iIn Germany,
5jAnd Italy,
6kAnd Spain,
7lWhere the trains were all running on time,
8mAnd where the Jews and left-wingers and dissidents were all running for their lives,
9Which made it important to come home,
10nAnd lecture the Yanks about their social and political responsibilities,
11Which they were kind of in the mood for anyway,
12What with their new interest in oequality and the pgreatest good and so forth,
13And not really having any money to spend anyhow.
