WORK-A-DAY WARRIORS
My shrapnel hat
Might ha' been that
I' which Barebones praised the Lord!
Might ha' been that
I' which Barebones praised the Lord!
A halo shed
Around our head,
Says one artistic fellow,
It might have been—
(A soup tureen?)—
Designed by Donatello!

Well, have we not
For lack of pot
Used it to boil an egg in?
Or to immerse—
Wash-tubs being scarce—
A Highland hand or leg in?
For lack of pot
Used it to boil an egg in?
Or to immerse—
Wash-tubs being scarce—
A Highland hand or leg in?
It lies like lead
Upon the head
When we are in the trenches,
Yet I must state
Our old "soup-plate"
Is safer than the Frenchies'.
