Til K KAINKK’K DRKAM
This is a story though strange it may
seem,
Of the great Kaiser Bill and his
dream.
Being worried hy allies, he lay down
on his bed.
And among other things he dreamed
he was dead.
And In a fine coffin lying in state.
With a crowd of brave Belgians
mourning his fate.
He wasn't long dead, when he found
to his cost.
His soul like his soldiers' soon would
be lost:
On leaving this earth to Heaven he
went.
And arriving up there gave a rap on
the gate.
St. I’eter looked out and said loud and
clear,
"Try down below Bill, you can't get
in here.”
Now said the kaiser I cal) that uncivil
But a welcome I'll get from my old
friend the devil.
He turned on his heel and away he
did go.
At the top of his speed to the regions
below.
Hut when he arrived he was filled
with dismay.
For while waiting outside he heard
Old Nick say,
“See here all you imps, 1 give you
fair warning.
Now don't let him in, for to me tis
quite clear.
That he's after my job and we don't
want him here:
If he get's in here there'll be no end
of quarrels.
In fact I'm afraid he'll corrupt all our
morals."
All right my dear devil, the kaiser
did cry.
Excuse me for listening while wait
ing outside:
If you don't let me in, then where
shall I go?
"Indeed," said the devil, “I’m sure
I don’t know.”
Oh. please let me in. I'm feeling quite
cold.
Let me sit in a corner, no matter how
hot.
No, no, said the devil, most certain
ly not.
We don’t allow folks here for riches
ai.d pelf.
Here's some sulphur and mutches,
make a hell for yourself.
And he. kicked him right out and he
vanivhcd in smoke.
And just at that moment tin* kaiser j
awoke.
!
He jumped out of bed witli a shiver
ing sweat.
And said, “What a dnutm I slta'n'l j
soon forget:
That I won’t go to heaven, I know!
very well.
Hut neve once thought I'd lie kicked
out of hell.”
