Zoom! Kaboom! How the bombs flew
With cold all the soldiers blue
Frostbite, trenchfoot, diarrhoea too
I don’t know how I’ll live this day through
Comrades dropping down like bowling balls
Wounded fighters crying out help calls
Everyone battling on through stumbles and falls
I’m so miserable but, aren’t we all?
Troupes so hungry, they’d eat birds
Of distraught soldiers, there are herds
I am now weak but my final words
“Remember me and all the other courageous men and women”
