Chapter 18
Excited by the glorious demise of the Grande Armee in Russia, thousands of new troops joined Napoleon for a series of battles against every country in Europe. 2 The new Grande Armee fought in the most valiant Frog tradition, 3 Which is to say they lost, causing Napoleon to resign from his job and move to the island of Elba, 4 Safely tucked away in the Mediterranean, 5 Miles from the French coastline, 6 Where everybody would be safe from him, 7 Except that he escaped. 8 Somehow, 9 And got all the way back to France, 10 Where the glory of it all convinced the army to join him once again, 11 For another hundred days, 12 Until Waterloo, 13 Where the last of Napoleon's glory slipped away down a sunken road,, 14 Causing him to resign from his job a second time and move to the island of St. Helena, 15 Safely tucked away in the Atlantic Ocean, 16 Many thousands of miles from the French coastline, 17 Where everyone would be safe from him, 18 Except that the Frogs never forgot him, 19 And remembered him fondly, 20 For some reason, 21 Which suggests that Frogs are every bit as dumb as they are silly. |
