Poem Satirizing Kaiser Wilhelm At Banquet
A historical anecdote recounts Captain Coughlan of the U S Navy composing a mock German poem titled Hock Der Kaiser to mock Kaiser Wilhelm. Washington authorities threatened a court martial, but the episode blew over. The verse parodies divine entitlement with Meinself und Gott and references France, Lorraine, Elsass, and Dioysian rhetoric. The piece ends with a signature line Gott pulls mit me und I mit Him.
