The Ballad of the Great War's Ogre

Soundtrack: "L'Ogre" by Jean Vasca

Threat for the Week™: "This will feel ... a little weird."


Here's a little ditty I came up with while reading Shel Silverstein the morning after seeing John Malkovich in "The Ogre".

It started rather simply, as most things of this sort do.
I stepped out for a bite and bit the Maginot in two.

I noshed a bit on Himmler, and washed him down with Goering.
Ol' Rommel was my next hors d'oeuvre, in spite of all his daring.

Eisenhower was bland and uninspiring, regardless of his might.
De Gaulle I took with a nice Bordeaux, and Pétain went well with white.

A salad of dear Goebbels and a pleasant Turing stew,
A roasted Dresden and under glass, a plump B-52.

Shermans aplenty, with Schutzstaffel to spice, and some
Spitfires and Ghurkas and Aussies are nice.

I ate ol' Allen Dulles, a most tasty Knight of Malta.
I craved a dab of Stalin, so I headed down to Yalta.

I wanted something marinated, so I snatched up good old Patton.
I penned up the Red Army, and I left them there to fatten.

Savory Zionists and Zeroes and a Zed-250 Babbage,
Were perfect with a half a pound of sweet liberty cabbage.

My appetite was wearing thin, so I stashed 'em in the fridge;
Fat ol' Winston, spoiled Adolph, and the Battle of Edson's Ridge.

My belly was now waxing full, so I kicked back with a Zima.
The next day I was peckish, so I nuked some Hiroshima.

The rest I squished with a great wood spoon and pulped them into mush.
But if I'd seen what was coming, I just would've eaten Bush.*

* - Naval aviator Lt. j.g. George Herbert Walker Bush was shot down over the Phillipines in his Avenger on September 2, 1944. He survived, thanks to his hemp parachute, long enough to let us read his lips and to spawn his progeny.

There is no greater crime than, like, a badly forced rhyme.
