11. THE STORY OF FLYING RUDOLF

 

When the heads came tumbling down

At the Führer's angry frown

All good little Nazi boys

Stayed at home to mind their toys.

Rudolf thought "No place is surer

Than to strut beside the Führer."

So he did, and for a bit

He was IT,

All the Führer's joy and pride.

Here you see them side by side.

 

But there eyed him still askance

Himmler's cold and fishy glance

And the Führer screamed, "Don't dare

Take a plane into the air!"

Rudolf thought: –"

To leave by stealth

Will be better for my health."

So he flies

To the skies,

Never heeding Adolf's cries,

Till appears a tiny dot

O'er the land of Burns and Scott.

 

It is Rudolf's parachute!!

Can a rift be in the lute?

Has he come to seek for solace

On the soil of Bruce and Wallace?

Down he bumps on Scottish ground

And they've put him in the pound.

Now, it isn't very clear

What he's wanting over here,

Only, this one thing is plain,

Rudolf won't go back again.
