TROOP HORSES
O H, you hear a lot these days Of the automatic ways That the experts have devised for spillin' gore; Cycle squadrons, motor vans, All fixed up on modern plans For a rapid transit, quick installment war.
Now, that sort of thing may go When you have a thoughtful foe
Who will stick to graded roads with all his forces, But when we were boys in blue, Playing cross-tag with the Sioux,
We were satisfied to get along on horses.
