Europe does not need to share our
potatoes. They are too bulky to ship

and concentrated foods. Therefore,

This vile and venomous brood we have
interned,
This Sinking, sneaking set that now

They who would pause not at the

What from their bestial baseness have

Our laws, our hospitality, they have
spurned,
Sowing wher'er they might the poi

OF treason, with their t~reacherous

Why not mete out to them what they

Shall we again, when haloed Peace de-

Take them onto u bosoms, ope u
