I wish that I could “shoot the line”
As have those two good friends of mine,
Whose names are writ ahead of me,
For you and everyone else to see.
But as I live on England's shores
I'll sigh myself sincerely yours

I sit up in my little dome,
Feeling cold and all alone.
Searching vainly for a foe
Hoping that my guns will go.
Calling forth in high delight,
Here comes Jerry get out of sight!
When I land again at Base,
A smile appears upon my face,
Because I know that there will be-
Three fried eggs & Bags of tea.
