Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAEAFCFGCACA CACG

Old Man by your broad contented grinA
And the gleam in your quiet eyesB
You are back with 'Jorrocks' and 'Binjimin'A
In the land where the good fun liesB
You are riding where rifles reach you notC
On a line both safe and sureD
From the meet at the 'Cat and Custard Pot'C
To the kill on WandermoorD
In vain do the cannon of memory callE
From the Flanders fields forlornA
When you hear by the stacks of Barley HallE
The twang of the ''ard un's' hornA
And little you reck of a broken thighF
And a bandaged arm to bootC
When the old comedian canters byF
On his 'henterpriseless brute 'G
For back to you comes each sound and sightC
At a touch of the magic penA
Till you take your place in the old first flightC
With a lead on the grass againA
And Surtees the sage with the jester's artC
Would be proud had he lived to knowA
He had brightened an hour for your gallant heartC
With the ring of his 'Tally ho 'G
