“The "dough boys" were loaded into army wagons drawn by mules, and with the cavalry at the flanks the relief column started.”

“The miser, a-seeking lost gelt, / The doughboy, awaiting the battle, / May possibly know how I felt / While the long years dragged by as the dealer / As slow as the slowest of dubs, / Stuck out the last helping of tickets / 'Till I lifted—the Bullet of Clubs!”
