Ludendorf; 81 was a giant till
he came, and made me seem a
sawed-of dwarf; he's cooked
my goose and spoiled my fame.
l was a giant, fair to see, a man
colossal brave and strong; the
German people. looked on me, as
one who could do nothing wrong.
While Ludendorf's on deck,
they said, we cannot fail of
winning out, SO we shall calmly
go ahead, and do Our chores, and
eat our kraut.' l was invincible,
men thought, the Potsdam
bunch, and all the rest, and even
Kaiser Wilhelm brought a
wreath and pinned it Oh my vest.
And while the allies plugged
away, each for himself, without
a chief, had triumph every
day, and sidestepped many>kinds
Of grief. But now that Foch is
in command, my goat has wan
dered far from me; in vain are
all the plans I've planned, in vain
is all my strategy. My big cam
paign is now a wreck, I've said
to all my hopes goodbye, today
Foch hits me in the neck, tomor-
row he will black my eye. He
takes thousand miles of soil,
ten thousand prisoners he takes
he swats me on my sacred boil,

you'll agree, I bulked much
larger than a prince; but since
this Foch mixed up with me, l
