An Oklahoma Rough Rider says this
piece OF poetry. written somewhere in the
east. actually expresses it:
Ny pas a great Rough Rider,
He was one of Teddy's men,
And he fought before FL Caney
In the trenches and the ZEN
He came home sore and wounded,
And I wish you'd see him eat;
He's got an appetite. I guess,
Is pretty hard TO beat.
It's eat and eat and eat,
And it's sleep and sleep and sleep,
For ma won't let us make no noise,
And so we creep and creep.
o, we babe him welcome home,
And we're glad he wasn't killed
But, geei he's got an appetite
That never will be filled.
My pa was in the racket,
He heard the Mauser's ring.
And he says there's something awful
In the music of their ping.
He fought the fight with Teddy,
But he's glad he's home again,
From the trenches and trochas,
From the hills and from the fen.
But it's eat, eat, eat.
And it's sleep. sleep. sleep;
He's kind o. stricken hungry
With an awful sort of sweep.
But we're glad to have him home
And we're glad he wasn't killed,
But, gee! that awful appetite,
1t never will be filed.
