Said one of them, For shame, The poor things are not to blame, I really must confess, But how those boys do shake and shix er 77 lVhen the sergeant gives them liver. III Inspection Arms i's an easy thing- Up with your gun and catch it, Give a smart and easy fling And across the body fetch it. In this position, now you bring Right hand to its middle, Bust it open, make it ringl The movement is no riddle. V Goofy Goop from Company HG . Falls for any novelty: Feathers for machine-gun nests, Cannon reports and skirmish lines, Gun wads and music rests, Keys to artillery mines- I-Ie really thinks, between us three, The game of golf's a sort of tea.

Say Cap,', a Basic asked, Kindly tell us please, Sand we have in front the door But who gives out the grease?', Cl 46 IX I-Iow do you roll those cigarettes? The blooming rookie said.

VI There was an old lady from Russell Who came to the Fort in a hustle, VVhile out on the range She felt a great change- A bullet had punctured her bustle. VIII And look whatls in the street A circus has arrived in town, just pipe that creature's feet! 4'Be quiet, my child, you foolish one, Can't you really see 'That what has come to VVilliamsburg Is another CMTC.,' X Here lies the body of joshua Rink, VVho said lieutenants couldnlt think. Beside him rests Samuel Smith, VVho thought discipline a myth. And next to him is K. P. Jones, 'Who joined the cooks in rolling bones. While sleeps on the other side, Solomon Brown-he just died.
