6 And fighting them on the beaches,
7 aAnd their finest hour,
8 And a bunch of other stuff too,
9 bUntil the Yanks had this picture in their head of the Brits doing it the hard way,
10 All alone,
11 cWith nothing more than half a dozen Spitfires,
12 And a tough old dprime minister with a epistol in his pocket,
13 Who was honest and great,
14 fEven if he hadn't been born in a log cabin,
15 Which was important to remember,
16 gBecause Churchill was a Brit,
17 And since when had the Brits ever done anything for the Yanks,
18 Except look down their nose,
19 And lift their eyebrow,
20 And play with their hmonocle in a condescending way,
21 iUnless they were in over their heads in a gigantic world war that is,
22 Again,
23 jWhich is why the Yanks absolutely positively were not going to get involved again,
24 No matter how great Churchill was,
25 kPeriod,
26 And weren't going to help out at all,
27 lUnless you count lending them a whole bunch of ships and weapons and food,
28 mAnd making sure they got across the North Atlantic to Great Britain,
29 nEven if that wasn't going to save them anyway.

CHAPTER 1051 And so the Yanks stayed firm,
2 oThrough the fall of France,
3 pAnd the narrow escape at Dunkirk,
4 qAnd the fall of Norway,
5 rAnd the Battle of Britain,
6 sAnd then through Hitler's invasion of Russia,
7 And even through a lot of weird stuff with the Japanese,
8 Who no Yank had ever given any thought to before,
9 tUntil they started acting like they owned the Pacific or something,
10 Which couldn't be true,
11 Because the Yank government seemed to be getting pretty cross with Japan,
12 And they wouldn't do that unless the Japanese were in the wrong,
13 uAnd wanted something in the South Pacific that didn't belong to them,
14 Which would have to be worked out somehow,
15 If the Yanks could only figure out what it was in the South Pacific that anybody would want,
16 vWhich would be easier to do if you could figure out where the South Pacific was in the first place,
17 wExcept that's the government's job anyway,
18 And they'll work it all out at the peace talks,
19 Because nobody was going to trick the Yanks into another big foreign war,
20 This time,
21 And besides, those little monkeys in Japan know better than to mess with the Yanks, don't they?
