A Meaningful Sacrifice

"Now Tommy, do not fail or fear;
For should it happen that you die,
While greater men about you lie
Your memory will persevere."

"Over the top we go, my son,
With all the bravest British boys!
The King must have his pretty toys
Protected from the beastly Hun!"

Our British Tommy fights and dies
With England's glory in his death;
And gurgles, with his final breath:
"Three cheers for private enterprise!"
