Be Ready
We can't conduct modern war

We can't conduct a modern war
the kind that we've been plan
ming for-without abundance of
long green; therefore, go slow on
gasoline, and luxuries of every
sort; quit drinking grape juice by
the quart, quit eating pie three
times a day, and idly throwing
coin away. For soon you'll face
heavy tax that will put stitches
in your backs, and freeze your
gay and winning smile, unless
you've laid away pile. We can
not run modern scrap, and push
the kaiser off the map, that
butcher who too long hath sinned
we cannot do him up with
wind; twill take a large and
weighty bar'l to put the lid on
Bill and Carl. The tax that you
will have to pay won't set you
back for half day, if you'll be
prudent, now, and wise; cut out
imported smokes and pies; blow
in less staple brands of coin for
porterhouse and tenderloin; DOM
bet your money ,on the nags,
spend less for rich and gaudy
rags. Lies been for years one
grand, sweet song, we've lived in
luxury SO long, it may at first
seem quite a strain to save a
share of what we gain. But if
we pickle sundry dimes we'll bless
ourselves in after times, when tax
collectors come around, to nail
the shilling and the pound.
