WALT WHITMAN DESCRIBES MAJOR W.
Nonchalantly he stands
On every step of life
Tapping his legging.
It is just the same
Whether we’re expecting
A Boche attack
Or Church Parade.
Nothing flusters him. Men
Confidently go
To do his bidding:
While he stands there
Revolving stunts;
And nonchalantly
Tapping his legging.
