The day we all waited with glee
When we gave our thanks
The celebration of first six months in
France
To the Maker as we should
And gave to the sea all of our foods
The cranberry sauce
Got upset in the kitchen,
The turkey fell out on the floor.
But we ate what we could,
And considered it good,
And went back for more.
And don't you remember
The smell of the kitchen,
The sickening roll of the sea,
The slippery floor
Where you spilled all of your dinner
OF liver, onions and tea9
The liver was bum,
The onions were Shiny
The tea was bitter as gall,
But the smell, just a Whit
Of it murdered a sea gull,
The smell was the worst of it all.

We III still have work before us.
Wen burn the II. R. Mallory
And sink the Tenadores.
Then we will pass the hat around
And buy some of the latest books
To find the latest euss words
With which to cuss the niger cooks.
Then we will hit the trail for
Home Sweet Home and the
Girl we left behind us.
We will name the first kid Mallory
And the other Tenadores.
When the news of the sinking of the
renadores was heard by the boys great
was their rejoicing.
