GONE!

GONE!

Here lies the body of Kaiser Bill, Verbosity merchant and Prince of ill: Where he is or how he fares Nobody knows and nobody cares. If he has gone to the realms above, I heartily pity those above, If he goes to a lower level My sympathy goes to the poor old Devil. Gone from the sweets of office, Gone from the head of affairs, Gone in the head they tell us, Gone and nobody cares. Gone (not) to join the angels, Gone to reflect on past, Gone let us trust forever, Wilhelm'B gone at last. Said Satan : This place is as full as can be, But a place he has certainly won. So he let Ananias and Judas go free, And admitted the modern Hun. But the Devil soon found he'd had a great sell, For Wilhelm corrupted the dwellers in hell; To flout all their treaties their thoughts he directed, No matter how much poor old Satan objected : Then said poor old Nick with a sigh and a groan, To a far greater "devil" I surrender my throne. .
