NIL NISI MALUM
,OINE are the days when they tre:abled at his curse, Gone are his friends to Siberia-or worse. All the Volga boatmen are singing yo heave ho! But I hear no gentle voices calling Poor old Joe. Loud speakers bellow trom every Kremlin steeple, Commissars are busy explaining to the people How the All Highest is lowest of the low. Whitewash is in short supply for Old black Joe. Will Stalingrad be labelled Krushchovburg? Did you hear a grow! from the deepest pit of purg.? Dear departed Marshal, art thou sleeping there below? Now then, all together comradesDirty old Joe.
