14 And closed its eyes,
15 aAnd prayed to every deity Mankind has ever worshiped,
16 bDating all the way back to the first pointed stick of the first civilization,
17 Wondering if the Yanks were really willing to annihilate the world over a point of pride,
18 cWhich they were,
19 As the Russkies eventually realized,
20 Right before they backed down,
21 dThus allowing the whole world to breathe the biggest sigh of relief in history.
CHAPTER 1481 Playing chicken with the Russkies wasn't the only exciting thing Kennedy did either,
2 Although he liked chicken so much that he played a few rounds in Berlin too,
3 When the Russkies put up the Berlin Wall,
4 And announced that there would be war if anybody got in their way,
5 eWhich made Kennedy mad,
6 And resulted in another close call,
7 Though maybe not quite as close as the Cuban Missile Crisis,
8 Which couldn't have gotten much closer,
9 Without needing a different name,
10 Such as the Cuban Missile War.
11 Anyway,
12 Kennedy did other exciting things too,

13 fLike wanting to send a man to the moon,
14 Which everybody knew the Yanks could do,
15 gBecause Yanks can do anything,
16 So why not this?
17 And Kennedy also invented the Peace Corps,
18 Because he loved peace so much,
19 Like all Yanks,
20 hAnd therefore thought it would be great to send a bunch of Yank kids out to tell all the most backward countries how to live right,
21 iSuch as the American Way and all that,
22 Because the Yanks have always cared so much about the poor and oppressed,
23 Especially the ones who don't live in America.
CHAPTER 1491 In fact, Kennedy was so honest and great that he even cared about the poor and oppressed in America,
2 jBecause they were starting to get fed up anyway,
3 Especially the negroes,
4 Who had been noticing some things about life in America lately,
5 kSuch as the fact that it was okay for negroes to fight in Yank wars,
6 lAnd die for their country,
7 mAs long as they did it separately from white Yanks,
8 nBut who still weren't allowed to vote,
9 Or go to white schools,
10 Or sit at the front of the bus,
11 Which is the very best place to sit in a bus,
