Battle

By Wilfrid Wilson Gibson

In the Ambulance

“TWO rows of cabbages,

Two of curly-greens,

Two rows of early peas,

Two of kidney-beans.”

That’s what he is muttering,

Making such a song,

Keeping other chaps awake,

The whole night long.

Both his legs are shot away,

And his head is light;

So he keeps on muttering

All the blessed night:

“Two rows of cabbages,

Two of curly-greens,

Two rows of early peas,

Two of kidney-beans.”
