A Camp Dix, N. J., “shave-tail” was giving his men a talk on personal
hygiene. Finishing his verbal exploitation, he said: “ ... and men,
profit by my example; when I finish drilling in the afternoon, the first
thing I do is to take a bath and shave; then, when I retire I feel rosy
and cheerful.” Whereupon one of his disciples emerged from the ranks with
his hand raised to a salute, saying: “Beg pardon, lieutenant, but we
ain’t got any Rosy.”

There was a young person named Willy
Whose actions were what you’d call silly;
He went to a ball,
Dressed in nothing at all,
Pretending to represent Chili.
