DER KAISER of dis Vaterlandt Unt Gott on high all dings commandt -- Eggsept, of course, you understandt, Dare's Teddy. It used to be dot me unt Gott Could run der vorldt as vell as not; But now of help ve get a lot From Teddy. Who told us two unt two makes four, Unt neffer either less or more, Unt all about our ancient lore? Vy Teddy. Who sait to me, "I like you, Bill?" Who helped me not to keep right still Unt talk of animals to kill? Dot Teddy. Who told me vat mein army needs, Unt how vords doesn't count mit deeds? Who valks unt talks der vile he reads? Dot Teddy. Who told me dings I neffer knew? Who told me vat I ought to do Unt how to say "Dee-lighted!" too? Dot Teddy. Dare iss no bleak unt lonesome spot Vich ve don't cheer -- I tell you dot! -- Der vorldt iss bossed by me unt Gott -- Unt Teddy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
