Dear Aunt Julia thought that | would just
sit down under this big oak tree and study up
a poem for the cousins, so here she goes:
Johnny, get your gun:
johnny. get your gun;
lhe war is still on,
And it's time we've begun.
Well give em some leatl,
And some powder. too;
For there won't be a German left
When we get through.
The bullets wen face,
II they do come in hurry.
When we meet the kaiser
He'll be 20 bury. ....
