Who helped me pull ont Wasehe'
Beneath some Harley Davi5.ssa,sa az
And mighty Spoon a pounaip,
On an anvil made Of tn
And everybody trying L.
MAKE "orkhorse out Of bi,
And Sergeant Barr that ponnda4
On the Underwood to brfno
This poem 20 an ending
I'm much Obliged t. hin,
And now this rhyme Is ended
ror my fingers growing nUrnb
would That each one be cornrnara-4
For the work that he mas done
Oh Shades of Horace Grasla,.,
Let's cable Randolph Hears
The Press has lost a genius
Journalism Is accurst
We harbor here among uS
A genius rare, indeed
He was q cub" reporter
On the Farmers Rural Seed
Oden used to spar for news
When out in civil life
But now he's rigging 10 his Sbi,
10 cop himself wife.
And if he still continues
His active army work.
I'm sure afraid that some d.,
He'll surely something shirk
For once he liked nile With n
And once ne went On guard,
And that's about the caIibre
OF work that ne calls h8r8
Lieutenant Williams IS his name
A man for all of that.
And II ne knew what | thins. Of MIN
he couldn't wear ms nat.
We have three men courageous.
All captains OF the line.
Whose names within these PAGES
And perhaps those Of all times
Have found place within nv heart
Like Gertrude Maud or PHYLLIS
lis Brogdon. Blueeyed Connolly
And bouncing, blushing Willis
Now Brogdon, hes d silent man
Gets worried about his men,
But that's the kind Of officers
To France our Government sends
And Connelley SO young.
And yet Captain, too.
But there amt no B. G. better
Cause ne fires ms problems true
Now Willis don't think much 81 me-
And calls me some fool name
but that makes no. never nina. with me-
| Ike nm just the same
When from the quiet Of your homes you "a,
And past through spentitential present
Did greet your future am.

Vas serlobllng rhymes = rhyme with ms :
see N retros pection
4 distant border manned
B. Us Troops from Arkansas.
And thru their ranks they scanned
To nominate a leader
Chose out worthy one
To trust in ms wise judgement
Until the var was done
They chose one from xaar number
In mind and body sound
\ soldier from your legion.
Who clamped tn rl1ets down
OF the eagles oH rs shoulder
And he sraeed tia, honor we'll
For I've hard his soldiers tell ne
They'd follow MN thru hell
From Snringdale down h Beauregard
Through Mills and BFest ard BAN,
And ever - Coetguidah
II all that pouring ram.
I've seeH nm soldier thru Il al
And | know he's white inside
+ or ne treats YOU fair II YOU r. On the sqaan
lis summon % your pride.
So count back now your days well spent
And more perhaps you'll SEE.
For your best friend III THIS regiment
1t Colonel Ownbey.
In all this wartime business,
| looked back on those I've met,
And | wonder if vel meet again
When another scene IS set.
When the khak's worn and dusty
Laid away by loving hands.
And the war IS long forgotten
When you fought in distant lands,
And you tell the story Of II
To your ehildren's children then
And they stand on tip-toe listening
To the deeds Of soldier men,
It's then I'd like to meet you,
At the rainbows crimson end,
For my life with you was happy,
And I'll always be your friend.
The End
