You were liprht. Mister William T. Sherman.
When you uttered that message divine,
For only today I have laid them away
Those two little buddies of mine.
We had crossed in a transport from Gotham
To the land that the papers call France.
We had luiddied together in any old weather,
Together we'd taken our chance.
And many a time in our hiking
When I was unable to crawl.
They carried the pack that was .slung on my back
With never a kick at all.
Uujrjrcd, they were, tough and sturdy
Though maybe they never would shine i
Iu a high-brow cafe on the rue do I'.roadway,
They were genuine buddies of mine.
And now that their duty is finished
The thought that is left to console
Is: though they were rough, they were made of real stuff
And each of them harbored a sole.
So thus, when the snow fell this morning
And keen as a whip was the air.
My buddies checked in to a fat sergeant's grin,'
Who issued me then a new pair.
Pvt. John I. K. Uriggs, A. 1". O. 7'J.'..
