BETTY BROWN, ELEANOR SLIMMON te I-lou Quilfnll Have you done anything to help win the war? Perhaps bought a bond or saved your car? Have you thought of the boys unsafe over there, And wished they were home in their easy chair? i Do you go to the black market to get extra meat ' So that the government you can cheat? Or perhaps there's no butter to see you through, So you say, Well, Iill borrow some from Aunt Sue? Do you pour waste fat down your kitchen sink? And after you've done it, stop and think Of the glycerine that has gone to waste When you were in such unseemly haste? Don't answer now, but think awhile, And let's make sure we never Heil Hitler or any other foe, ' Which will only prove and go to show That we can win this war, and fast, So that we'll all have peace at last. W lViAUREEN Tuun, XI llnginisked oth It was on a Friday, a nice summer day Late in the morning, on the dry grass I lay, For the mercury was boiling and swimming was fun, But I couldn't go, 'cause my work wasn't done. Noon now had come and the dinner was set, Eating was hot, so my shirt was soon wet. But now I was yinished and was out in the field, Chopping some weeds with a hoe I did wield. Two hours went round but I still was at work, And in all that time not a minute did shirk. Time went on quickly, and swimming was past, But weeds must be hoed right up to the last. At last I was done and a good job at that, So I went to the house and talked to the catg And I mumbled and thought of the fun I had missed, Of the very gay time I had hoped for and wished. But I learned a lesson that all ought to know, To get work done yirst and not to be slow, 'Cause leisure comes after the work is all done, And when it's done well, it's then time for fun.
