REMINISCENCES
I REMEMBER, I remember The good old barrack square, And the campany sergeant-major Who gave us an. earful there. We thought that his voice was shocking, Wethought that his mind was kinked, ‘ For he was one of the old school Which is practically now extinct. And daily we stood and wondered If his bark was bad as his bite, And how, it he had any conscience, He managed to sleep at night. But trifles like insomnia Would merely have made him scoffHe’d simply have fallen the sheep in And told them to number off.
