1 HE 44 SOLDIER POET " NOW IN SEWARD
When the tiger eats grass like the ox,
And the submarine runs Irom the whale,
When the salmon wear cotton sox,
And the snow never falls on a trail,
When the brown b«*ar fails to scare men,
And caribou travel like lrogs,
When the egg isn’t laid by the hen,
And feathers a.e found on the dogs.
When the mamalutc ceases to bite,
And the devil needle to sting or to prick,
When the moon shines by day not by night,
And pneumonia won’t make you sick,
When pussy cats fly through the air,
And the huskies do roost in the trees,
When the deadly mosquito is rare,
And school children do as they please,
When the fishing is done with a shovel,
And the cry of a gull’s never he ard,
When groceries we don’t have to order,
And the future is no longer blurred,
When the wind never stirs up the ocean.
And the women in dress take no pride,
When Governor Higgs takes a notion.
To throw all the red tape aside,
When clocks cease to tell us the time,
And n»uuii Lain goats butt from the rear.
When treason and theft aren’t crime,
And germs aren’t thought of as queer.
When the ptaimagin brays like an ass,
And the raven sings like a lark.
When women arc always de-tasse,
And people can see in the dark.
When steel rails aie used without ties,
And the girls with the soldiers won’t spoon, i
When the bootlegger finally dies,
And we talk to the man in the moon.
When Congress stops hemming and hawing,
And the Senate develops some speed,
When King Grabit is pushed from his throne,
And we banish the present day greed,
When the spirit of Unity reigns,
And we all get together and boost,
When the knocker and gonger are ousted,
And monopolists pulled from their roost.
When we’ve thousands and thousands of people,
And a fleet of huge merchant ships,
When we’re ready to work ’stead of loafing,
And fight with our deed** not onr lips.
It is then that we’ll have what we should have,
And Alaska will settle its fate
And appear on the flag, minus shackle and gag,
The richest and forty ninth state.
