The Saving Habit.

We're learning how to save
the shilling, and when the armies
cease their drilling the lesson
will abide; our hard-earned
scads we won't be blowing; the
tail no longer will be going to
bitten with the hide. II peace
full times failed 70 pickle the
useful dime and helpful nickel,
l PIT no coin in brine; I wasted
money as / earned it, with fool
ish energy burned it, the spend
thrills course was mine. Then
came the war, and thrifty neigh
bors who'd saved the product of
their labors the crisis calmly
met; they had their bundles in
their cellars, while / and other
giddy fellers were plunged neck
deep in debt. We were bunch
of also-wases; we couldn't help
the Red Cross causes, or buy a
baby bond; we couldn't line up
with the loyal and help to can
the madman royal, for all Our
goods were pawned. The busted
man is pretty useless when war
is raging, endless, truceless, and
coin is in demand, when every
gent should have his dollar to
help to make the foeman holler,
and save his native land. And l
felt shamed, and l was blushing
when l beheld my neighbors
rushing with coin to boost the
flag; l wept for all my spend
thrift folly, my soul was stepped
in melancholy, my spine began
to sag. But now my wisdom
teeth have sprouted, along the
paths of thrift I've secuted, I've
salted down four bones; my
package doubtless will be
greater, and as it grows twill
balk the traitor and shake the
tyrants' thrones.
