The following are the attractive
poem and the menu:
THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
He's driller and drinker; he's q
gambler and sport
He's q hard old hand at hiking: but |
at work he's rather short.
But the devil likes his lighting. and
the hearty way its done.
He's a Cross between Christian |
and the devils only SON.
He has vices like the most Of men and
virtues like few.
But when you thump his mettle you
will find its ring Is true.
He's mixture, made Of capsicum with
fire to make II hot.
On his record as soldier there Is
not a single blot.
He's khaki colored cyclone with the |
lightning in its heart.
And he never vet has turned his
back nor played the. towards
SEf Dart-
He is honored by the title of soldier
and q man.
He is Uncle Samuers nephew and
he's all American.
