The terrible things that the Governor br Of Kansas says alarm me; br And yet somehow we won the war br In spite of the Regular Army. br br The things they say of the old N.G. br Are bitter and cruel and hard; br And yet we walloped the enemy br In spite of the National Guard. br br Too late, too late, was our work begun; br Too late were our forces sent; br And yet we smeared the horrible Hun br In spite of the President. br br "What a frightful flivver this Baker is!" br Cried many a senator; br And yet we handed the Kaiser his br In spite of the Sec. of War. br br A sadly incompetent, sinful crew br Is that of the recent fight; br And yet we put it across, we do, br In spite of a lot of spite.br br Franklin P.
