Target Practice
From The Laughing Willow (1918)
History & Politics
At the Imperial Schützenfest
Fritz Pickelheim led all the rest;
At target practice Pickelheim
Could hit the Red Cross every time;
At the clay-baby contest Fritz
Scored nineteen out of twenty hits;
And once he won the Kaiser’s purse
With nine live babies and a nurse.
