“Fort Des Moines Staging Area Is 'Rich' with WAAC Customs
...The Staging Area mess sergeant is one of the longest suffering indiviuals on the post. For not only must she supervise cooking for a company that is too excited to eat, but she must listen also to pointed serenades, the mildest of which is:

“The chicken that they serve us
They say is mighty fine.
My leg jumped off the table
And started marking time.

They say the eggs you serve us
Are fresh as they can be.
Mine got up this morning
And crowed for reveille.

The biscuits that you serve us
They say are mighty fine.
One fell off the table
And killed a pal of mine.”
[Army Times, vol.3, no.43, 5 June 1943]
