Base Details
Siegfried Sassoon
IF I were fierce, and bald, and short of breath, |
|
I’d live with scarlet Majors at the Base, |
|
And speed glum heroes up the line to death. |
|
You’d see me with my puffy petulant face, |
|
Guzzling and gulping in the best hotel, | 5 |
Reading the Roll of Honour. ‘Poor young chap,’ |
|
I’d say—‘I used to know his father well; |
|
Yes, we’ve lost heavily in this last scrap.’ |
|
And when the war is done and youth stone dead, |
|
I’d toddle safely home and die—in bed. | 10 |
