When Japan and Russia 20 10 war
How the civilized world will suffer
From the awful names that make our way
Through the daily papers rougher.
Gaily slipping over cable wires
They will keep dispatchers busy,
And their alphabetical length win strike
The peruser simply dizzy.
We've but just recovered from Africa,
| And the linOtypes ceased to sputter
Der the Philippines, whose towns our tongues
Stil emharrassingly stutter.
So then give US peace at any price
Better carve the Chinese nation
Than infiict another spell Of war
And more lingual dislocation.
