FOLLOWING THE RULES
By Walt Mason
If Uncle Sam appoints a man
to work out conservation I’ll
follow that appointee’s plan
and try to save the nation Per-
haps the rules he may lay
down will seem like gentle
kidding but I’ll be first man
in our town to hump and do
his bidding I’ll do what that
official saya and blithely too
doggone it if he insists I’ll
wear a fez and soak my Sun-
day bonnet If he declares
that eating fowl three days a
week is useless I’ll cut out
chicken duck and owl and
make the three days gooseless
No doubt there’ll be some
funny Tules by rushed offi-
cials handed each rule is
sprung before it cools and jars
us when it’s handed And con-
tradictions will arise confusion
worse confounded but we’U
obey if we are wise as soon
as they’re propounded It is
not ours to reason why the
loyal man is whyless but it is
ours to cut out pie on days ap-
pointed pielem Some rule to
me may seem absorb it leaves
me dazed and frozen but he
who made it is a bird or he
would not be chosen He
knows much better where we’re
at than I so weak and giddy:
at his behest I cut out fat and
eat an ancient biddy At his
behest I sell my shoes and bare-
foot gladly wander and hope
my trials may amuse the sol-
dier boys out yonder
