We, too, respect these toilers you quote, Though they don't deal in sheep, we don't class them as goat. But Oh! Mr. driver, are you not aware That if biscuits were scarce, and tobacco was rare You would just do without them and live I suppose, But how on earth could you survive without clothes? Army material we hardly need state Is made by "Wool Pullers," "dumped home" at the gate. "Well, Mr. Bus-driver, this is all we will say, If lt'B O.K. with you. let us call it a day. —N.B.
