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
