"Rookie Rhymes" by the men of the 1st and 2nd provisional training regiments, Plattsburg, New York, is a collection of humorous poems and songs written during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I preparations, from May to August 1917. The book serves as a lighthearted portrayal of military life and the experiences encountered by new recruits as they undergo training and prepare for potential deployment. The content of "Rookie Rhymes" revolves around the everyday trials and tribulations faced by soldiers at the Plattsburgh training camp. Through witty and engaging verses, the authors capture the absurdities of military life, including standing in long lines for various reasons, the challenges of drill and discipline, and the camaraderie among the troops. Each poem provides a unique perspective on soldiering, from the mundane frustrations to moments of introspection and humor, reflecting a blend of patriotism and the human experience of awaiting the unknown that comes with war. Overall, the collection highlights the spirit of the rookies filled with both anxiety and optimism as they prepare for their roles in the larger conflict.
