Belgian Neutrality
¦¦¦ the ¦¦¦¦¦¦ French depart
Like ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ Bonaparte,
Swarming ¦¦¦ with ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ venomous vitality.
Over ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ Brighton and Bulgaria,
¦¦¦¦ violating Belgian neutrality.
¦¦¦ the injured Prussian may
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ say
"Why, ¦¦¦ be so small a nationality
Since ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
Bolivia and Belgravia,
Are bursting with ¦¦¦ Belgian neutrality."
By ¦¦¦¦ Alliteration
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ trace this curious nation,
¦¦¦ respect this ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ scattered Principality;
When you see a B in Both
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ take your Bible oath
You are violating Belgian neutrality.
(Blackout of The Latest School by G K Chesterton)
