LORD HAW-HAW WRITES (Very) BLANK VERSE
By JONAH BARRINGTON Listening-in to the radio spar
LADIES and gentlemen.~~- Meet Lord (Shakespeare) Haw-Haw, bard of Zeesen-on- Avon. Your old friend has turned poet--has nibbled his pen and rumpled that beauti- ful wavy hair in a frenzied effort to produce a parody on our current song hit: "We're gonna hang our washing on the Siegfried Line."
Seems that he is angry about that song-considers it in bad taste,
So, in intense, biting tones, he recites this ditty to his ever-loving public:
"We're gonna cry out stink- ing fish until the end of time.
Have you any stinking fish,
Britannia dear?
|
If fresh fish still remains
too dear."
Maybe your suspicions are like mine that the poor fel- is weakening low's mind under the strain of being Britain's No. 1 Buffoon for Alterna- eight hours a day. tively, if you can see rhyme or reasoning in the above out. pouring, send me a post-card.
**
POINTS that I noticed dur- ing the Hitler outburst: That his speed has gone up to 150 words a minute--almost a gabble. That he took exactly one hour to work up any real applause. That the average cheer died after six seconds. That he coughed-twice. That the singing of the Horst Wessel song was abominably
We're gonna cry out alink-out of tune. That the B.B.C., ing fish until the end of while Hitler was speaking, time,
were playing "Sing a Song of Sunbeams."
Because the hot air war is
here.
Whether the aroma is bad
or fine
We'll advertise all without
a care.
We're gonna cry out stink-
ing fish until the end of Lime,

That Paris played "You have a certain charm” and "Let me call you my own.” That German radio station Stuttgart, supposed to be giv. ing Hitler, was well and truly jammed by reiterated errand boy whistle.
