"Your Bit"
My message is to womanhood,
Men turn the other way,
You haven't any interest
In the things l wish to say
To the mothers, wives aud sweethearts,
And to women everywhere.
If you would help to win this war,
just put on underwear,
And lay aside your Georgette sleeves,
Your gowns of lace and tulle.
And write across them. Sacrificed,
To save our nations fuel!''
