Good Evening.
NO GOLF IN THE ARMY

He's IN the army at last
The carefree days are past
His daily walk is twenty miles,
Just like golf but not 50 many smiles
At target practice he bangs away,
Long before the break Of day
He gives the landscape Just passing glance,
He's not so happy as over his golfing stance
He grabs bayonet with clenched list,
He's not fussy being first ON the list.
He let's go with a resounding crack,
But It's not so thrilling as his teeing-off whack
His feet get sore tramping around,
He can't get used 10 unfamiliar ground,
He thinks OF the miles Of turf so green
As he stops for chow at an army canteen
For he's In the army now,
Harder than working behind pow.
AS he jumps out Of bed at the bugle call
He's thinking Of home and his three hundred yard naI
