THE KAISER'S FATE.

One night in Hades Satan heard
A loud long distance call.
He fastened to the red hot phone
And leaned against the wall.
Hello; who wants me at this hour.
But everything was still.
Then DER the sizzling wire came
The voice Of Kaiser Bill.
II want to tell you what I've done;
And / have done it we'll;
l We turned this glad old world Of ours
Into a perfect hell.
"I've killed the wounded and the aged,
The young. the nurses. too;
I've done. o, many frightfuI things
That you would never do.
81 turned a flock of U-boats loose
Upon peaceful sea,
And then | clapped my royal hands
And laughed aloud with glee.
"And then one day letter came
Across that sclf-same sea;
Il was addressed distinctly;
Twas surely meant for me.
1T said in an emphatic way:
Now. Kaiser Bill, go slow,
Don't sink another ship of Illne,'
And It was signed Woodrow
at fairly took my breath away.
To think that such a cod
At such time would dare to write
Like that to me and God.
''I never paid the slightest heed
But went on with my fun,
And now I really. truly wish
That ] had not begun.
THE other day n message came
From the front line in France
Which said a million men and more
Were there in khaki pants.
They've come to get my scalp. they
say.
Now. friend. what shall I do?
I haven't one good idea left.
So ! have come TO you"
But Satan said, you've come too
late;
They'll get you. Kaiser Bill;
And my advice to you now IS,
Go straight and make your will.
They'll get your scalp; your jig is up.
And all that I can do
Is to reserve In hottest hell
The hottest place for YOU"
