"Ho! the sky's as blue as blazes an' the sun is shinin' bright, / An' the dicky birds is singin' over'ead, / An' I'm 'ummin', softly 'ummin', w'ile I'm achin' fer a fight, / An' the chance to fill some blighter full of lead. / An' the big guns they are boomin', an' the shells is screamin' past, / But I'm corperil - lance-corperil, an' found me game at last!"
I ixpects a note frum Ginger, fer the time wus gettin' ripe, / An I gits one thick wiv merry 'owls uv glee; / Fer they've gone an' made 'im corperil - they've given 'im a stripe, / An' yeh'd think, to see 'is note, it wus V. C. / Fer 'e chortles like a nipper wiv a bran' noo Noah's Ark / Since forchin she 'as smiled on 'im, an' life's, no more a nark.
