Question: What has war done for democracy?
Answer: The war has done for democracy.— Child's Guide to Patriotism.
We have a little club—
The R.S.A. is its pet name—
'Tis a little 'Sociation
That has quite a little fame;
And that little 'Sociation
Finds with growing mild alarm—
Another bit of land wouldn't do us any harm.
Another bit of land, another bit of land, another bit of land,
Just to make a little farm.
Another bit of land, another bit of land, another bit of land,
Wouldn't do us any harm!
And some really sultry artists
Were the men who went out first—
For they didn't get the shekels
When the money bags were burst.
No, they didn't get the shekels
When we jolted Massey's arm.
So another quid a week wouldn't do us any harm.
Another quid a week, another quid a week, another quid a week
Wouldn't do us any harm!
