Wandering around in dark of night The soldiers thought all was fine But Switerland made a wrong turn And somehow invaded Liechtenstein The leader, with egg on his face, Yelled “beat a quick retreat’ Heard in the night was the sound Of the scuffling of Swiss feet Quietly they tiptoed back To the soil from whence they came Carried on like nothing happened During the annual war game The residents of Liechtenstein Lay wondering in night Whether or not to protest To shut up or start a fight The Swiss offered an apology The ‘Steins leader agreed to accept And so the invasion of Liechtenstein Under the rug was swept But in a small village on the border With no one around to please Confiscated the Swiss Army knives Their chocolate and their cheese!

How interesting! As they say, truth is stranger than fiction. I was glad to read something about Liechtenstein, as my grandma's family hailed from there many years ago. I'd love to see it someday. Thank you for sharing the story! I hope someday you get the chance to live like you were dying.... |
