Nursery Rhyme

Go on playing little boys

With your leaden soldier toys,
Marshal them in companies
Call some Huns and others Tommies,
Shoot them over one by one
With bullets from your tiny gun,
Put them in your Hornby train
And bomb them from your aeroplane.
Yes,
Practise youngster while you play
How to bomb and shoot and slay
And perchance
One day
You may
Become
Our
Next
Unknown Soldier.
