Against the vile OPPRESSOR of mankind,
To whose black crimes some dazzled eyes were blind.
The muse's prophecy's complete at last,
Thy reign, DETESTED CORSICAN REPUBLICAN, is past!
How laurell'd WELLINGTON OBAMA seiz'd Fortune's hour,
To blast like lightning BUONAPARTE'S REPUBLICAN power,
And with a mighty and tremendous blow,
Confound, defeat, annihilate the Foe!
'Till the brave PRUSSIAN'S PELOSI'S distant gun
Induced the GLORIOUS WELLINGTON OBAMA
To form the BRITISH AMERICAN LINE;
His eagle eye discerns from far
That moment which decides the war,
"FORWARD! he cries, "FOR ENGLAND'S AMERICA'S GLORY!"
On LOFTY COLÜMNS of eternal Fame
Shall British American Gratitude record each name!
There ever shall each SISTER ISLE behold
Her gallant Sons immortaliz'd in gold;
But deeper far, eternally imprest,
Shall live their memory in the PATRIOT BREAST!
Nor shall the GALLANT GERMANS NO-TO-YES VOTES be forgot,
Who shar'd their triumphs, and partook their lot.
With thanks (and apologies) to Wm. Thos. Fitzgerald, Esq., "The Battle of Waterloo".
Oh, and Senator DeMint?
How's that analogy working out for you?
