Show THE IDEAL AMERICAN j He don't go much for microphones He ain't the type to spout; He sometimes talks in undertones And knows what he's about. He ain't no man for tossln' hats-He hats-He shuns the blazln' light; He's got but one ambition: that's To get the job done right! He don't go yellin for the press To keep him In the news, In fact it fills him with distress When publishers so choose; He never rushes into print-He print-He takes no "public pulse"; To ballyhoo boys he's the flint . . . He's got one aim: RESULTS! He don't pop off most every day With notions far from ripe; No critics drive his poise away . . He ain't no newsreel type! While shouting is the gen'ral rule And oratory's loose. He does a turn at keeping cool And knows one word: PRODUCE! When Washington is in a mess And rows bust out anew It don't annoy him much, I gue3s, If he ain't yellin', too; He hasn't got an ax to grind At no man Is be sore . . . Bill only has one thing In mind. And that's to WIN A WAR! FAIR WARNING I know a lady who speaks ot "snaps"; She says her "mums" are always splendid; The day she calls petunias "pets" Our garden chats are ended! . WONDERMAN A super guy Is Lucius Ilrann: ne hasn't any Postwar plan! Elmer Twitchell often wonders what would happen to our relations with any nation on earth if we ever sent it something marked "C.O.D." The price of cheese and watermelon water-melon has been cut by OPA. Now we feel different about the whole outlook. |
