Show "THE BOND SLACKER" What are you pinching that dollar for, You fellow that didn't go? The puny share You are asked to spare Is all you will have to show. While you fret and whine "i our boy and mine Are bearing the battles' brunt. What are you pinching that dollar for When the boys are at the front? What are you pinching that dollar for? You say it's the last you've got7 Yet you sit at home While across the foam They pay to the last red drop. Can you mouth a prayer For the boys out there On the scorching fields of war, And feel with pride That men have died To leave you a dollar more? What are you pinching that dollar for? Can't you reel it sear and burn? Can you face the scorn That is battle -born When the war-scarred troops return? re-turn? ' y Who does his share Alone may dare To meet the veteran's eye, Or take his stand And grip the hand Of a man who would dare die. Walter S. Stanton in Omaha World-Herald. |
