POILU
(Steuart NJ. Emery in Stars and
S:ripes)

You're funny fellow, pOilu, in YOU
dinIly little cap
And your war-worn, faded uniform
of blue
With your multitude of haversacks
abulge from heel to flap
And your rifle that is most as big
rs you.
You were made for love and laughter
for good wine and merry song
Now your sunlit world has sadly
gone astray,
And the road today you travel
stretches rough and red and
long,
Yet you make it, petit soldat, brave
ana gay.
Though you live within the shadow,
tagged and hungry half the
while,
And your days and nights arc rack
ing in the line,
There is nothing under heaven that
can take away your smile,
Oh so vi&tful and so patient and so
ine.
You are tender as a woman with the
tiny ones who crowd
To upraise their lips and for your
kisses pout,
Still, we'd hate to have to face you
when the bugle's sounding loud
And you5 slim, steel sweetheart
Resale is out.
You're devoted to mustaches which
you twirl with such an air
Der a cigaret with nigh an inch to
run,
And quite often you are noticed IN a
beard that's full of hair,
But thai heart of yours is always
. twenty-one.
No, you do not "parlee English" and
you find it very hard.
For you want to chum with us and
words you lack;
So you pat us on the shoulder and
say, "Nous sommes camarad-
es,"
We are that, my poilu pal, to hell
and back.
