To have a BARREL of such chow
A-standing here before me now.
I say “YUM YUM” when “soupie” blows,
I SNIFF and raise aloft my nose:
CORNED WILLIE! Ha! Oh, BOY, that’s FINE!
Can hardly keep my place in LINE.
I kick my heels and wildly yell:
“Old Sherman said that ‘WAR IS HELL,’
But GLADLY would I bear the heat
If corned beef I could get to eat!”
