Much Ado About Nothing
BY ROY X. MOUEToN,

The Stacker.
William Hazlcton Gill
Was a lazy old pill.
And Gtupendous advice
lie was happy to spill
To the gang at the store
Where he peddled war lore
While his wife got Job
In n munitions mill,
And fine service flag
with one star on it, Bill
Hung up At his house
When his hard working spouse
Started depth bombs to nil
In the old powder mill.
Bill told all he met
That his only regret
Was he had but one wife
TIC give to his country.
The thought made him fret.
For her regular pay
Was eight dollars a day
brigham Young could have
Cleaned up fortune that way.
And Bill figured he
Could Croesus be
With horses and cattle
Md fine fertile lands
With more wives attacking
Their lives in their hands.
