Base Details Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEE| If I were fierce and bald and short of breath | A |
| I'd live with scarlet Majors at the Base | B |
| And speed glum heroes up the line to death | A |
| You'd see me with my puffy petulant face | B |
| Guzzling and gulping in the best hotel | C |
| Reading the Roll of Honour Poor young chap | D |
| I'd say I used to know his father well | C |
| Yes we've lost heavily in this last scrap | D |
| And when the war is done and youth stone dead | E |
| I'd toddle safely home and die in bed | E |
