"SUGAR SOLDIERS"
"The Jap menace is over The Yankee lads are gone Our gallant boys, are coming home f The war is nearly done. Why all the fuss and bother About food and clothes? Our belts have been tight long enough It's time to end our woes. Let's eat, drink and be merry, Go I'or sweetmeats and ice cream The way we've been restricted Is a dictatorial scream. Reduce the sugar ration— What unpardonable rot 3 The war's as good as over. It's time that we forgot To study other nations, And went all out I'or ourselves, Replenished our bare cupboards And empty pantry shelves." So saj- the sugar soldiers, Fighting for number one. Incessantlj- thej T 're popping o(f Their paltry tommy gun Fighting for sell' indulgence i Against the Motherland, Where folks don't squeal for sugar But arc famous for their sand. H. SERCi.VXT.
