THE RED CROSS CHRISTMAS STAMP
BY E. S. MARTIN.
Buy me every chance you get!
Do you good? Just try me!
Lick me light and stick me tight!
Buy me! Buy me! Buy me!
All good luck and Christmas cheer,
All good will I carry,
I’m your friend and—never fear—
Truly sanitary.
I’m the Red Cross Christmas Stamp,
This that I propose is
To summon wealth to fight for health
And beat tuberculosis.
Beat the greatest plague of all,
Oust a pall of sadness,
Treat despair with food and air,
And lift it into gladness.
Buy me! Buy me! I’m your friend.
Help me win my battle!
Help me bring a scourge to end,
Men are more than cattle!
Help me help the suffering!
I’m their supplication
Skill that’s brotherly shall bring
Healing to the nation.
