GOD, GIVE US GIRLS 1
(Apologies to J. G. Holland)
By M. R. S,
God give us girls, the time demands
Red lips and curls, patience, and nimble
hands!
There's Eddie and Lewis and Roland Paul;
Holley and Conkey, and then there's all
The boys who work on the trail crew;
Lawrence and Chuck and Ray, and a few
Who’ve gone away, but all no doubt
Feel the pangs of the roustabout.
All of the boys on the CCC;
Lyle and Wesley and Loren make three;
Two are left in the Estes gang,
Ruaeell Williams still knows the pang
Of living in blissful solitude,
Planning and cooking his daily food.
Albert and Bob both got away,
They'll show up again some day
Wearing a hungry, eager look,
Hoping to find a steady cook;
Not overlooking Jerry or Duke,
Both are exposed to the same rebuke.
All along the road you will find 'em;
Men with a lonely career behind 'em.
Scattered along, from Seward to Hope;
Dreaming of perfume, and scented soap,
; Lost in the toils of cooking and mending,
Living a life that is dull, unending.
God give us girl 9, the time demands
Pink cheeks, warm lips and curls, and
skillful hands.
Girl8, who by attention are not spoiled,
Girls, who willing are to cook and sew,
Girls, to season moosemeat when it's
boiled,
Girls, who get along with very little
dough.
God, give us girls I
