Russians, we hear your passionate
plea,
For a second front. Please know
that we,
Are doing the best that hard work
ean,
To hasten that day with men and
‘plan.
Naturally, we cannot tell you now,
Exactly the force or when or how.
We can safely venture this one
surmise,
That when it comes ‘twill be a
surprise.
Our ite shall be far worse than
our bark— §
That’s why we’re keeping you all
in the dark.
The Russians plead for a second
front,
That the Huns may bear a double
brunt.They say, with justice, now’s the
time.
The hour is ripe, advantage prime.
On Russia’s steppes the Nazi lords,
Drive deep with millions in their
hordes.
With their strength in the East, this
time seems best,
Fer a crushing blow from out of
the west. :
¥i ‘‘there’s a tide in the affairs 0
men,
Which taken at the flood leads on to
fortune’’—then,
Why, now’s the time to strike the
-. Hun,
With his Russ campaign too well
begun.
However, one more thing we know—
When the second front comes, it
must be a blow,
That’s struck. with paralyzing force.
This we take as a matter of course.
Yet such a blow needs a detailed
plan,
‘One that’s worked out to the very
last man,
That the thrust may deliver the
maximum shock,
Every move must be smooth as the
tick of a clock.
The army’s bold soldiers and navy’s
brave gobs,
Must knew by heart their detailed
jobs. IAN
And there must be freighters, score
mpon score, :
To carry the men and the weapons
of war.
