R's for the Russians. I ask you to glanceAt the swarms on the gangway, alighting in France.
S was suspected of being a Spy,But never was able to understand why.
T is a Town which I'm taking as read;If I'd only a cold I would sneeze it instead.
U is a Uhlan who's taking a toss;The Kaiser will probably give him a Cross.
V is Von ——— dash, I've forgotten his name,But he proves that New Zealand was solely to blame.
W stands for a Waiter. Alas!He has emptied some arsenic into my glass.
X in the little equation that's shownIs the Crown Price's chance of ascending the throne.
Y is the Youth whom I'm hoping to "cotch;"While I waved to the troops he collected my watch.
Z is a Zeppelin, right overhead—Isn't it luck to have something for Z?
