OH! Stuttgart Frauleins, and capacious Fraus, <br />What shocking news is this that filters through? <br />Have you been fostering domestic rows <br />By casting, naughtily, glad eyes of blue <br />At poor old Tommy in his prison-house? <br />Tut! tut! This is a pretty how-d'ye do! <br /> <br />Anna and Gretchen, where's your strength of mind? <br />Think of that khaki crowd whose force of arms <br />Bustles your goose-step legions from behind ; <br />These very captives should inspire alarms. <br />You are indeed disloyal and unkind . <br /> <br />To fall a prey to their dishevelled charms. <br />The gods have come among you, I admit, <br />To make your jealous Herren fume and fuss. <br />Unkempt, unshaven, rather short of kit, <br />The prisoners attract you even thus. <br />But, Fraus and Frauleins, what's the use of it? <br />Their hearts, please understand, belong to us !<br /><br />Jessie Pope<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/captive-conquerors/
