Titus Oates & Auroleo Dead
I believe that I saw Titus Oates and Auroleo Dead
Walking in the December field today
I could not be sure as the sun was bright low
They appeared to be heading towards the enchanted copse
And soon vanished from view
How I envied the tiny wood fairies
Mongoose
Will you be my friend?
Gimenez held the dying man in his arms oblivious to the shells and bullets that were shredding everything in sight
I do not have any friends you know
That is why I joined the army
I am quite enjoying it even on days like these
The dying man looked at Gimenez‘s youthful face
When I was your age I did not have any friends and that is why I joined the army
But look at me now I have been shot to pieces and if I am not mistaken that is my leg over there in that shell hole
What use are friends now?
Gimenez kissed the bloodied forehead of the dying man
I will be your friend
The dying man smiled weakly and became limp
Gimenez closed his terrible eyes
Take cover Gimenez!
For fucks sake take cover Gimenez !
They are coming this way
I will but not before I bury my friend
Reclining Wolves
The woodman and His Mate were deep in the forest
Although the day was bright the sunlight found it difficult to filter through the deep trees and illuminate the many paths
His Mate looked up and scratched his head
Doubt if there be much air today these woods will be stifling
I agree we will have to take our time today
How’s yer book goin?
Well it is going well
What’s it called?
Wives and Daughters
When will I be able to read it?
Dunno maybe this year maybe the next
I am a chocolate soldier
I know
