Robert W Service - The MacaronisRobert W Service - The Macaronis
Work rating: Low


Italian people peaceful are,—    Let it be to their credit. They mostly fail to win a war,    —Oh they themselves have said it. "Allergic we to lethal guns    And military might: We love our homes and little ones,           And loath to fight."           But Teutons are a warrior race    Who seek the sword to rattle; And in the sun they claim a place,    Even at price of battle. The prestige of a uniform    Is sacred in their sight; They deem that they are soldiers born           And might is right. And so I love Italians though    Their fighting powers are petty; My heart with sympathy doth go    To eaters of spaghetti. And if the choice were left to me,    I know beyond a doubt A hundred times I`d rather be           A Dago than a Kraut.
