Poems by Edgar Albert Guest
The Flag On The Farm
... "You're shirking far too much to-day!" ...
Why We Fight
... And earned the dying's grateful prayers, ...
The Sensible Romance Of Mildred
... But I said when they kicked, that the plumber they've picked ...
A Real Thriller
... for pills, An' one feller spoke of bein' in a railroad wreck or two ...
The Way To Make Friends
... To think cheerful thoughts and to speak them ...
His Rattle He Throws On The Floor
... When he's hot, when he's cold, when he's bold, when he's shy, ...
October
... They are done with all their nestin', and their hatchin' days are o'er ...
Worth While
... And though but tattered rags are mine ...
Boy And His Stomach
... I've been a friend to you, I have, why ain't you a friend o' mine ...
Always Saying "Don't!"
... Oh, Gee! Seems like when I want to play ...
Dreading
... " I share with her that self-same dread, a house devoid of children's toys, ...
Along The Paths O' Glory
... And they've joined the gallant legions of the men who served the truth ...
The Worry-Chaser
... I was cross, I was mean, through the heat of the day, ...
Drafted
... Shall wear our country's uniform, for they've been drafted, too ...
The Fight Worth While
... And at last when the battle of earth is through ...
