He aint no "bally Heathen" and he aint no "Plaster. Saint," But he likes his pipe, the same as you and I: Perhaps it's wrong to want it, and then perhaps it ain't, That's a matter we can séttle bye-and-bye, Tommy is not at a picnic, and he is not at a dance, But where'er he is he likes his little joke; And the other day he wrote me from placé "somewhere in France" That "the only thing he wanted was a smoke." "And he said the shots were humming just like a swarm of bees, And the shrapnel shélls were singing overhead; And the gases they were floating along upon the breeze And the stench was just delightful," so he said. "For it reached right up to Heaven: he could cut it with a knife; That's the time," he says, "that eating was a joke But the ONE fly in the ointment of his sweet, pastoral life' Was, he'd like to have the makings of a smoke." So I put it to you plainly, just as a pal to pal, And I'm going to give it to you good and strong; Tommy sends--TO YOU---a message out of that infernal hell, Are you going to keep him waiting very long? --STEVE COLLINS, Treasurer T. & D.
