THE KAISER IN VERSE.

The Kaiser has commenced journalistic enterprise, He is personally dictating war news and articles on the campaign. Mein Gott ! doc poy vos gone again ; Ring loudt der bells uudt bring him here; Bring me some baber undt a ben, Undt bring me lots ot lager beer. I haf some victories to tell, Dot leedle nephew, Chorch, of mein, I blow his varships all to—veel, I dinks we sing Die Vatch Am Rhein, Und write der story in der bress Of our Imperial success. Get me some big black head-lines oudt, Send dot sub-editor along ; Ve make der Irout page fairly shout, Ve make der news all hot undt strong ; You takes your bencils in your band Undt write ; “Der Kaiser dake der field ; Before der mighty Yaterland Undt me meinself der verld must yield, Undt bretty quick, mit lots of luck, Our armies march to Burrinjuck.”

Write voot-uotes by der editor, Undt say how great a warriorking Dead on to victory in this var, Undt bid der grateful beoples sing A song of glory undt of braise To dot great man who save dem all, Undt set der continent ablaze Till every country shake undt fall But one, dot stand triumphant still ; Ja, give a boost to Kaiser Bill. Wrab me some dowels roundt mein head ; I dinks I write a leader now, Undt say der first ding to be said Is “Hoch der Kaiser,” anyhow; I write der vorld is lapped in peace ; Yen der is no one left to fighdt Vrom cruel var it find release— Dot vos der Kaiser’s vork all right. Berhaps dwo golumns I shall fill Mit words about der Kaiser Bill.
