Thumbs Up! Five Poems by the Author of The V Sign

TOAST (Battle of the River Plate). Sinking merchant-men is fun; Chivalry is senseless, Prove your honour as a Hun, Murder the defenceless! Chorus Horse and bridle, whip and spur! Give the Hun the Willies! Gentlemen! Exeter, Ajax and Achilles! Noble Nordic deeds we've done, (Baby-killing German!) Bomb them every mother's son, Jewish-English vermin! (Chorus) Cruiser sightedtime to run! Well! theres one way surer; Scuttle quick and say we won, Trusting to the Fuhrer! (Chorus)

Thumbs Up! Five Poems by the Author of The V Sign

By thy strong soul of manhood firm and free, By thy high deeds of honour not surpassed, By all the valours that are yet to be, England, stand fast! England, stand fast! We made the brave man's choice. We staked our all upon the single cast. Winning or dying, let the heart rejoice: England, stand fast! England, one soul of steel, one heart of oak, One voice of silver, sound thy trumpet-blast Pass round the watchword through the battle-smoke; England, stand fast!
