There I saw a little old lady. Her name may be Jones, Smith, or O’Grady. In a far off land, she has a son. Who has a bullet in his lung. His name may be Mike, John, or Bud, But whoever he is he must have some blood ! This is something that cannot be bought. Is this the boy that we forgot? No, things like this folks don’t forget, They just haven’t gotten ’round to it yet. This boy’s condition will be reported “fatal,” Unless a bottle comes through with “Blood” on the label. So go to it America, fill the call! You’ll find .it helps you most of all. — Carolyn Tanguay
