Were ever men so brave
When locked in conflict so
And some foursquare
So gave their lives
Unto the waiting foe.

And while on while
The dead men moved
To stumble, disarrayed
Across raging raining land
In chaos so approved…

By generals
With squat swagger sticks.
Planned ignorant,
Fighting Fronts …
Battle weary wasted conflicts…

“Bad show, but never mind
Batman – bring me a G & T or two
Back to the map
No time for the faint hearted
WE must see the battle through.
