German Securities Fall

________________________________________________
Title:     German Securities Fall
Author: Abner Cosens [More Titles by Cosens]

The British guns have spoken
And Bill may lose his crown,
The German line is broken,
And saur-kraut is down.

The gallant French are storming
The Huns with iron hail;
They've given Fritz a warning,
And limburger is stale.

The Russ is westward pushing,
Herding the Huns like sheep,
Thus ends the big four flushing,
And liverwurst is cheap.

King Victor's brave Italians
Are driving back pell-mell
The Austrian battalions
And weiners will not sell.

The Belgians, too, are holding
Their end up with the rest,
They hear the Teutons scolding,
Bologna's past its best.

Roumanians, and others,
Who now are standing pat
Will call the allies brothers
When lager beer goes flat.


[The end]
