And when I'm marching proudly back With fifty captured Huns, My dad will say, 'retire Jack'. That's how they spike my guns. My teacher's a conscriptionist, She calls me 'Johnnie clear', 13tit backs it with an iron fist And So I volunteer. I got kept in at school one day For lesson not half learned, An when dad asked, "Why this delay', I said rd been interned, And when our test exams came out And 'mine was extra bad, I said, "We needn't fuss about A scrap of paper, dad". When sister's chap comes round at night, And pa seems in a rage, Ma only smiles; she knows, all right, It's just dad's camouflage. And when I entertain this beau While Sis, puts on her dress, Sometimes I get a dime, You know, That's strategy, I guess. My dad is getting rather stout, And hates to mow the lawn, But when he gets the mower out, First thing he knows I'm gone. But when I've trouble with my pa, No matter what it for, I make an ally of my ma, And then I win the war. EVERYBODY'S COLUMN HURON COUNTY R, C. & W. C.
