Miss Moon did wend
her way to the lagoon
whereupon she found
the second platoon
they were hoping
she'd turn up at the lagoon
for she had an expert hand
with a ladling spoon
to the mess tent
she did march with the sergeant
so she could check
that her ladling spoon wasn't bent
the platoon clapped
as she expertly used he spoon
to ladle the beef and vegetable soup
at high noon
after she'd finished
her ladling for the day
the sergeant of the platoon
gave her ten weeks pay
spooning skills
like Miss Moons are unique
to be possessed of them
is truly magnifique
