Excerpt from Uncle Sam's Right Arm: A Patriotic Exercise

All soldiers: When each of us becomes a man He'll be a soldier if he can. Ist. I'd like to be a drummer boy. I'd beat a charge with vim and joy. 2nd. I'd be a trumpeter. I'd never sound retreat But call the men from hill and glen the enemy to meet. 3rd. I'd love to be a gunner and make the cannon roar. A lot of gunners; brave and strong, I'm sure would end this. War. 4th. I'll be an aviator and like a bird I'll fly Within my shining airship, away up in the sky. 5th. I'll drive a Red Cross ambulance and all the wounded men_ 111 take away from battle fields, till they are well again. '6th. Some one must feed the soldiers and I think I'd like to cook. I don't know how to do it, but you learn it from a book 7th. I'd love to ride on horseback in every big parade, But when it comes to battles I think I'd be afraid.
