Name Gossip
A Perfect Day

"A Fer1ect LAY
with apologies to Madame Jacobs
Bond)
The soldiers dream of a perfect day
Is a dream when the guns grow hot
AS the valiant doughboys blaze away
In the joy that the day has brought
When the barrage lifts and in blank
dismay
The vanquished foeman runs,
With the steel, at the end of perfec;
day,
In the hearts of thousand Huns!
The sailors dream of a perfect day
Is the day of the U-boat's doom,
When children. no longer the pirates
prey,
Are safe from wat'ry tomb;
When the ships of the Allies put to
flight
The German navy's drones,
70 rest, at the end of perfect day
In the locker Of Davy Jones.
The free mans dream of a perfect day
Is the day when the foeman yields,
When the Belgian orphans romp and
play
In the peaceful Belgian fields;
When the Zeppelin raids forever stop,
AS the Huns give up all hope.
And the Kaiser takes a siX-foot drop
At the end of a perfect rope!
