Following Poem was received this morning from one of our customers now with the army of occupation in Germany. “Scotty,” I am coming back, Silver threads among the black, As at last the peace talk nears I’ll be home in seven years. “I’ll come in to you for clothes, With white whiskers to my toes; You can hear the censors curse, ‘War is h—, ’ but peace is worse. “When the next war comes around In the front ranks I’ll be found. I’ll rush in at once, pell, mell, Yes, I will, like h—.like h—.” Try it to the tune of ‘ ‘Silver Threads Among the Gold” It works fine!
