THE HUNTING OF THE HUN.
i You should sec old Ichthyosaurus— What we call, for short, a "Tank"— i As she clears the way before us. And we follow her, rear and flank; She's a Noah's Ark survival : From dim a-ons long ago, And her playful tricks outrival All the tactics of the foe. With her outside prehistoric and her inside stuifed with guns. She's a dream phantasmagoric, as she hunts the startled Huns; She tears up trees with a mammoth's ease and a pala-olithic grunt, | And she'll hunt the Huns, the Kaiser's Huns, till there are no Huns to hunt I ' With her body armour plated Like some scaly beast of yore, I She looks as if she dated | Hack to Adam, or before, iW'ith primeval might confronting livery peril in her way, Old Iciithyosau goes hunting Through a warring world today. ; She speaks with voice of thunder From tin- morning mists of Time, ! A scourge to make men wonder At war's colossal crime; To reason she'll restore us When we've crushed the cruel Hun, i So "Good hunting," Ichthyosaurus, Till the world's great peace is won! With her outside prehistoric and her insidn stuifed with guns, She's a dream phantasmagoric, as she hunts the startled Huns; She tears up trees with a mammoth's ease | and a pala-olithic grunt, , And she'll hunt the Huns, the Kaiser's Huns, till there are no Huns to hunt!
