gold;Its raucous coughs a gentle purr.The Camp at last! A shower bath!A shower bath? Oh, say not so.Theres all thats needed for a showerExcept . . . the water will not flow.Dear Pa and Ma, she tries to write,But tired hilarious friends appearWith novel tales and chocolate dropsAnd yodel in her ear.And while she sits there in despairSomebody yells: Two thousand dishesAre waiting to be washed and dried.And anyone may wash who wishes.Youll do—come on— and off she goes.She wasnt quick enough to> hide!She stands in soapy indignationAnd slams the dishes far and wide.Then supper: noisy, hungry, gay,She tucks away a farmhand meal.She calls for stew with frantic cries,Surrounds the beets with hungry zeal.The evenings spent in song and jest;The squealing phonograph is going.She sits and chatters with the rest,And thinks not of tomorrows hoeing.The whistle sounds—the lights go out.She scuttles off to bed at last.Hi . . . Silence, there . . Bzz . . . Shut up . . .Another day has passed.

RFJFORb BALLADS ■—i _ . . \ . , r- Im a Wac, Im a Wac, Im a wonderful Wac, Its a fac, its a fac, That Im breaking my back, But in spite of each pain and ache, Caused by hoe and rake, I am feeling fameretty, Not a single bit regretty, And I howl for a trowl And a scythe is my pride. For each seed theres-a weed, Growing right side by side. So Im as happy as can be Bossed by Dr. Ogilvie, In our Wac Camp Thats the place for me.
