THREF OF 4 KISD.-
There were three Emperors over the sea
Francis. and Aleck. and Kaiser Billee;
They came together one autumn day,
To have '.sit- up in q social way.
The way was long. and the people were bad;
50 they Travelled IN cars that were irOnclad,
And all the dear subjects who came TO view
Had 20 look at a range Of a mile or two,
And we don't know now, and We didn't know
then.
What causes assembled the three great men;
And what they said and what they meant,
We never VIII know to any extent.
All that We know to q certaintee
Is that Francis. and Aleck. and Kaiser Billee
Came and went in a royal way
Bill, Aleck, and Francis, Of Austria.
