Poem by Rudyard Kipling


Parade-Song of the Camp-Animals. 2. Gun-Bullocks


   Those heroes in their harnesses avoid a cannon-ball,
   And what they know of powder upsets them one and all;
   Then we come into action and tug the guns again,-- 
   Make way there, way for the twenty yoke 
            Of the Forty-Pounder train!



Rudyard Kipling
