5:10 A. M.—REVEILLE
At Reveille I shook the dope,
Broke out a towel and a hunk of soap.
5:20 A. M.—ROLL CALL
My name rang out upon the air;
I hollered, "Here," for I was "there."
5:25 A. M.—SETTING-UP EXERCISE
Took exercise, without a rest;
I like the Breathing Movement best.
5:45 A. M.—CHOW
Oh, what a difference breakfast makes!
'Twas Punk and Java, Dog and Cakes.
6:10 A. M.—FIRST CALL FOR DRILL
First call for Drill reminded me—
I'll try the rear rank—"number three."
6:20 A. M.—DRILL
Street Riot Drill and Company square;
I nearly went up in the air.
7:20 A. M.—RECALL FROM DRILL
Recall was music to my ears;
I hadn't felt so tired for years.
8:00 A. M.—COLORS
The Guard turned out for Uncle Sam
And handed him the "Grand Salaam."
8:10 A. M.—SICK CALL
One fellow went to show his corn
For there's a Hike to-morrow morn.
8:20 A. M.—FIRST CALL FOR TROOP
I shaved and washed, then cleaned the Gat,
And had ten minutes left at that.
