A Liberty Bond

Title:     A Liberty Bond
Author: Helen Leah Reed [More Titles by Reed]

A liberty bond! What a queer contradiction!
Although truth, as you've heard, may be stranger than fiction.
For Liberty should from all fetters release us,
While bonds hold one fast, whether pauper or Croesus.
Yet a Liberty Bond--I'd advise you to buy it--
Will ensure you your freedom--you'll see when you try it.
'Twill aid you to conquer foes cruel, despotic,
'Twill help save your Country, come, be patriotic!
A Liberty Bond--I'd advise you to buy one--
Will ensure you your freedom--rejoice when you try one!

[The end]
Helen Leah Reed's poem: Liberty Bond
