Show H MADE IN GERMANY H By Isabelle Howe Fiske. H They say that Germany is bad. H I cannot understand H How ever that can be so H It's such a lovely land. H I've seen it in my picture-books H And all the roofs are red H And full of little windows, H And such a funny bed, H High up, they have to sleep in, H And such a pretty stove. H It's just the sort of country H That little children love. H And all my toys and soldiers H Were made in Germany. H Can people that love children H So yery dreadful be? H I'll have to put them all away, B My soldiers and my toys B War-time is very dreadful B For little English boys. B My father's gone to fight them, B The Kaiser and his men, B My undo went last month, and he B .Will never come again. B ' My mother cries so easy now B And so my toys are hid, B But sometimes I steal to them B And whisper through the lid. - B j 'The Germans really aren't to blame ! j l "Sd far as T can see. H Why did God let the Kaiser B , . ; Be made in Germany? H.' '" '" From The Poetry Journal for July. |
