THE WOMEN’S ARMY

The world was once a peaceful place Before the days of Eve; But she ruined poor old Adam With an apple, I believe. And ever since that very day When trouble first began, The women have kept butting in Upon the affairs of man. In almost every walk of life You’ll see the weaker sex They’ve even joined the Army It s no wonder that we’re vexed. They’re moving where ’ere they can Just like a swarm of bees, To the Air Force and the Army, • These Waacs and V.A.D.’s. I even hear they’re coming to camp, Toward this we’re not looking, Unless, of course, we can go home To the housework and the cooking; They’re going to work the clerical side These mothers and their daughters How’d you like your mother-in-law To be working in Headquarters. We’ve just moved in to our new block, Headquarters, Records, Pay; But now it’s very doubtful If half ■ us lads will stay. Our office isn’t big enough, We’re crowded worse than Hades, Because they've taken half of it For a cloakroom for the ladies. So I think it’s time the lads went home, Just as I said before, And leave it to the women To win this flamin’ war. —J.P., Ngaruawahia.
