KAISERWOCKY.
(With apologies to Lewis Carroll.) 'Twos Marnen, and the tomni}' ats Did wyom seeat in their trench; All belgiumed wore the t.inney-hats, And blank-blank potsdam trench. "Beware tho Camounajre, my son! The Cootie's bite, the Barbwire'sscratch, The Ausgespiel's place in the sun; Verboto tho redcrost patch !" He took his kruppy in his hands; Long time a Mighty foe he sought. Some scrappy papered Soixante-quir&o, All poilued in its thought. And as he kultured his moustache, The Camouflage rheims through the wood, And francaised o'er with rougetnoir, Alsaced him where he stood. Einzwoi! Eihzwci! And high and dry He kicled that camoufiagic gun; Then prussly monoclcd his eye And taubed to Pop when done. "And hast thou kicled the Camouflage? Come to my lefty arm, my boy ! Dertag is won—'tis nu verclun 1" He vonklucked in his joy. 'Twas persching, and tho tommy ats Woro no ma us landing from their trench; All sammicd were, the tinney-hats, The Kamrads deutschly blench. —W.C.D. ftew York Evening Post.
