-“Springtime in Vienna”
To Queen Betty
Queen Betty is ruling her king
dom
With dignified regal sobriety.
Her court and her kingdom are
acting
With the usual amount of pro
priety.
I have no fears for the kingdom
As the time to its ending grows
littler.
She’ll ‘probably have finished her
ruling
Before it is noticed by Hitler.
—J.W.S.
