Introduction

General Dwight Eisenhower Enters Heaven

When General Ike went through the Pearly Gates, his angel guide
Said "Come and see our drill field. We show it off with pride"

And thereupon he led the General up a grassy hill
Where seraphim in serried ranks performed close-order drill

Commanded by a tall imposing figure of a man
With shades and corncob pipe, and suit of military tan.

And Ike was sure he recognized him, even from the rear,
And said, "I'll say hello to Mac. I knew I'd find him here."

"That's not MacArthur," said his guide, and gently pulled him back,
"It's God, but every now and then, He seems to think He's Mac"
