AFTER RUDYARD KIPLING

**IF** you can join the Group whilst fellow workers
Are hanging back and leaving it to you —

**IF** you can pay your sub. and show the shirkers
You're out to beat "Old Nasty" and his crew —

**IF** you can urge them to the resolution
To sign the form and undertake their share —

**IF** you can raise your weekly contribution,
Another sixpence here, a sixpence there —

**IF** you can watch your savings ever growing
With more Certificates at fifteen bob,
And watching them, can feel a pride at knowing
They go to help Old England do her job —

**IF** you can keep your Book and all that's in it,
Nor seek repayment till the fight is won,
PEACE SHALL BE YOURS, FOR YOU WILL HELP TO WIN IT —
And what is more, I know you CAN, my son!
