CAUGHT AND IMPRISONED

Erwischt und Gefangen
Als ginge friedlich es zum Sport,
Stolziert durchs Land der schlaue Lord ;
Das Eslein lässt er schleppen schwer
Den Fussball und ein – Mordgewehr,
Das er, damit es keinen schreckt,
Hat mit dem Roten Kreuz verdeckt.
Allein der Deutsche ist kein Tor,
So’n Schwindel macht man Eseln ver

TRANSLATION:
Caught and Imprisoned

As if it were a peaceful sport,
The clever lord struts through the land;
He has the donkey loaded heavily.
The soccer ball and a murder gun,
Which he covered with the Red Cross
so that it would not frighten anyone.
But the German is not a fool,
such a swindle is done to the donkey.
dated 1917
