for MIDDLESBROUGH MAGIC SHIP 279 (H)

THE FOOT SOLDIERS
Pictures of women
from way back home
to their foes in battle
were to be shown,
and of their few -
their meager goods -
an Xmas exchange
of presents stood
(the first world war
when both the sides
came out their trenches,
bridged the divide).
A game of football
would then take place
before all returned
to his gunner's base.
There are the fouls
in a footie game,
and war is foul
by any old name.
There was evil afoot,
knew this them all.
Just go on back
to fight or fall.
