LET US BE GAY
To Young Listeners, DOLF is taking up most of the space this week — no, not the usual Adolf — but a little gay rabbit, Adolf, who was born in the spring. And Little Adolfs are still being born in the spring, just as usual, in spite of the war, and they play gaily on the hill-tops and amongst the nettles, and they flaunt their little white tails at the other bad Adolf as much as to say "Do what you like, Adolf H.bomb us out of our burrows and we'll burrow more-do what you like Adolf H., we'll still be us-we'll still be gay. The Bees whatever Hitler does Refuse to stop their happy buzz. * * FS The Crocuses come out once more Although they’re useless in the wat. The little lambs, the little larks, Are making seasonable remarks Let us be gay. It is the Spring, * * % Though you and I must sweat and strive To keep a home-and keep alive This life whatever sour men say, Is worth a struggle. Let’s be gay!
