The road that leads to Jericho,
By thieves is still beset,
For Kaiser Bill, the highwayman,
Is there already yet.
Thrown thick o’er half a Continent,
His blood-stained victims lie;
The priest, in horror, lifts his hands,
The Levite passes by.
The modern Good Samaritan,
Kind-hearted Uncle Sam,
Exclaims, “This thing gets on my nerves
I’ll send a cablegram.
But while the cash is going free,
I’ll see what I can get,
And since these chaps are down and out;
I’ll steal their trade, you bet.”
(Abner Cosens)
