Some one in Cairo—Cairo, if you please!—
Reports that Britain is arranging Peace.
There's been a meeting in the Pyrenees'.
(The tale's from Yugoslavia and Greece.)

Then Moscow spreads it, very wide and well:
It's heard in Maine, and on Miami Beach.
Was it in vain the Tower of Babel fell?
Is it for this that we defend Free Speech?
