THE GOOSE BORROWS FROM THE SWAN OF AVON
(Suggested by a cartoon in the New York Times, April 21 1941,
entitled “The Real Axis.”)
Scene — Hitler's Headquarters. _
Death: Where shall we three meet again—
In Turkey, Malta, or in Spain?
Hitler: Or Britain’s isle?
The Devil: , Consider not—
’Tis mine to choose the hour, the spot.
Hitler: When the hurly burly’s done,
When the last great battle’s won,
I shall have my pljce in. the sun.’
All- Round about the caldron go;
In the propaganda throw,
Stir the poison to and fro:
Thrice tc north, and thrice to south,
Thrice to stop the foeman’s mouth,
Thrice to west, and thrice to east,
Thrice for Jew, and thrice for priest;
Curse their ships from stem to stern;
Caldron bubble, fire burn.
—Margery Strong.

SINGAPORE
Little Tommy Atkins
Is sitting in the sun,
Sighing and crying
For a plane and a gun.
Heigh! Tommy, ho! Tommy,
Now you’re high and dry,
But soon ’twill rain great guns
for you,
And then it’s Japs, goodbye!
—Margery Strong.
