TO THE ROUGHNECK-SIX
Here's a health to the 'Roughneck
Six,'
The cutest of girls at the dorm;
How 'Mother Mid' raves at their sim
ple tricks,
She swears they're worse than a
storm.
Flappers and vamps and experienced
girls,
They're the stuff, if you know it, I
say
They've taken a lot of life's great
whirl,
In their happy-go-lucky way.
First comes the leader, you know 'Cap
tamin Claude,'
She's experienced, and sure likes to
hug;
Don't love her too much, you might
get clawed,
Along with a slap on the mug.
And next in command comes 'Kap
,tain Kat,'
She's the smartest and sweetest of all;
I saw her, I loved her, I fell for the
Rat,'
Ye Gods I but 'twas easy to fall.
Always in order, are lieutenants, you
know,
And in this, 'tis Lieutenant 'Lib;'
Ask Bill Anderson, he knows 'bout her
mo',
Than I do-without telling a 'fib.'
And 'Sergeant Lee', there's the eyes of
the gang,
They're orbs of vampish brown hue;
But watch your stuff-she hits with a
bang,
She's a vamp, but a man-hater too.
The last two in names, they have the
same,
And the first is 'Corporal Gin';
You know her indeed, for she shares
Russell's fame,
That's bad, but still its no sin.
And last, but not least, (ini size you can
bet),.
'Private Gin'-not the kind in the cellar;
She's mean, shd's funny, she's ponder
ously set,
She's fat, but I don't dare to tell her.
They're a fine little bunch' from bottom
to top,
And I truthfully like everyone;
I've written enough, and I soon must
stop,
What I've written, I've written in fun.
May 'Mother Mid' change from hei
frowning ways,
And no more vent scorn on their tricks,
I'll hang my clothes on this line anc
say,
Here's a health to the 'Roughneck-Six.'

Phidias
Whose wife was so terribly hideous
That he sculptured Aphrodite without

And shocked the ultra fastidious.
