After DunkirkA
-
My dear TsarB
I am owing youC
The usual apologiesD
I did not come to DunkirkA
I did not come to DunkirkA
I did not come to DunkirkA
I was billed as usualE
But at the last momentF
I did not comeG
So that it was in vain my dear TsarB
That you and your Imperial spouseH
To whom I offer my very humble dutyI
It was in vainJ
That you and your Imperial spouseH
To whom I again offer my very humble dutyI
Searched the poop of La MargueriteK
With your Imperial binocularsL
I was not thereM
I was not thereM
O pregnant phraseN
I was not thereM
I was not on the poopO
I was not on the poopO
I was not on the poopO
I was not even abaft the binnacleE
In fine I was not there at allE
And whyP
Ah ingrate that I amQ
Why O whyP
The North Sea or German Ocean my dear TsarB
No doubt hath its pearlsR
It also hath other thingsS
As for example a Dover Ostend routeT
I went on that routeT
On Saturday lastU
It is a nice routeT
I give you my word for itV
But the North Sea or German OceanW
Also hasX
An Ostend Dover routeT
On which route I wentY
On Sunday eveningZ
And part of Monday morning lastU
Five hours my dear TsarB
Had I of that Ostend Dover routeT
And I am now at a place called ThameQ
In OxfordshireB
RecruitingZ
Though I promised a man at BrugesA2
And another man at YpresA2
That I would infallibly see himQ
At DunkirkA
The Loubets are of courseA2
Bitterly disappointedB2
But you can explain for meQ
Can you not my dear TsarB
You understandC2
Do you notD2
The North Sea or German OceanW
Fatigued youC
Did it notD2
That is precisely what it did to meQ
Fatigue is a good wordE2
I thank thee Tsar for that beautiful word fatigueF2
All day Monday I felt so fatiguedG2
That I went and joined a Peace SocietyQ
The Boer war my dear TsarB
Is entirely overB
So far as I am concernedH2
Henceforth I quarrel with no manI2
Fatigue has laid its heavy hand upon meQ
I am too much fatigued to quarrel even with the partner of my joys and sorrowsA2
Peace perfect peaceA2
Is what I requireB
And what I mean havingZ
Time writes no wrinkles on the Ostend Dover routeT
But you should see the people who have been that wayJ2
Thame in OxfordshireB
Pitches beneath my feetK
When I think of itV
