Well, hasn't time past quickly?
I woke up this morning and ticked today off the calendar and got ready to
Live,
But I went outside and the humans walked past, all with their poppies
Unpinned.
And so I walked, to School the Great, down a bustling road of ungrateful
Apes,
'Til, at last, the ebony uniform revealed to me and a purple banner confirmed that I was no longer
Free
So into the science classroom I tread, and the Asian teacher "my grandfather fought in the war"
Said
And then I noticed poppy galore and 20p coins strewn from pockets to the charity
Floor
The bell signed and so I got up, awaiting history and the Somme to obstruct,
Then,
I remembered I'd gone to Sarehole Mill, the original Shire where Ronald
Dwell,
And so, I recalled, that this best man past, was not just a wordsmith, but a
Soldier
To last.
