Not only how far away but the way that you say it	A
Is very important Perhaps You may never get	B
The knack of judging a distance but at least you know	C
How to report on a landscape the central sector	D
The right of the arc and that which we had last Tuesday	E
And at least you know	C
	-
That maps are of time not place so far as the army	E
Happens to be concerned the reason being	F
Is one which need not delay us Again you know	C
There are three kinds of tree three only the fir and the poplar	D
And those which have bushy tops to and lastly	E
That things only seem to be things	G
	-
A barn is not called a barn to put it more plainly	E
Or a field in the distance where sheep may be safely grazing	F
You must never be over sure You must say when reporting	F
At five o'clock in the central sector is a dozen	H
Of what appear to be animals whatever you do	I
Don't call the bleeders sheep	J
	-
I am sure that's quite clear and suppose for the sake of example	K
The one at the end asleep endeavors to tell us	L
What he sees over there to the west and how far away	M
After first having come to attention There to the west	N
Of the fields of the summer sun and the shadows bestow	C
Vestments of purple and gold	O
	-
The white dwellings are like a mirage in the heat	P
And under the swaying elms a man and a woman	H
Lie gently together Which is perhaps only to say	M
That there is a row of houses to the left of the arc	Q
And that under some poplars a pair of what appear to be humans	R
Appear to be loving	F
	-
Well that for an answer is what we rightly call	S
Moderately satisfactory only the reason being	F
Is that two things have been ommitted and those are very important	T
The human beings now in what direction are they	M
And how far away would you say And do not forget	B
There may be dead ground in between	U
	-
There may be dead ground in between and I may not have got	V
The knack of judging a distance I will only venture	D
A guess that perhaps between me and the apparent lovers	W
Who incidentally appear by now to have finished	X
At seven o'clock from the houses is roughly a distance	Y
Of about one year and a half	Z
