VERSE VINDICTIVE

3668 PRIVATE WILLIAM WARLEY TO KAISER WILHELM II

How d'ye like it, Bill?
How d'ye like it, Bill?
How does it seem on the losing side?
How does it pain you to pocket your pride?
Sure, it's a bitter pill—
How d'ye like it, Bill?

You'd got your mailed hand on one half of the map,
Like a thief with his paw in the till,
But John Bull's gripp'd your wrist,
And you'll open your fist—
How d'ye like it, Bill?
