Rutledges: A Pictorial Narrative                     <click here>

I have in mind, a floral piece to grace the Kaiser's tomb,

Of poisoned hearts and poisoned darts to rest his soul in gloom.

The poisoned hearts and poisoned darts will be in red and  white and blue,

And they shall spell, "He's gone to Hell."

When Pershing's men get through.

Here's to the Kaiser - the Limburger cheese,

May the swell in his head go down to his knees,

May he break his damm neck on the Hindenburg line,

And go to "Hell" croaking the

"Watch on the Rhine."
