Rebel Verses — Give Soldiers a Vote

Give soldiers a vote?

Don't talk so blame silly!

They've gone to the War To beat Kyzer Billy;

And till that be done There's plenty of fun.

The war may be pressing But--Politics first!

Let's keep up the Game, Though the Heavens should burst;

Then we're sure of our pay, Till the very Last Day.

Great Scott!

Don't you see How we stand on the brink?

Give soldiers a vote?

They would say what they think;

And from power and pay We should rapidly sink.

So don't talk about it, Don't mention it now;

Let the men go to war And the women to plough;

We Statesmen will govern....

The Lord, He knows how!
