Battle - In the Ambulance

by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson

“two rows of cabbages, Two of curly-greens, Two rows of early peas, Two of kidney-beans.” That’s what he is muttering, Making such a song, Keeping other chaps awake, The whole night long. Both his legs are shot away, And his head is light; So he keeps on muttering All the blessed night: “Two rows of cabbages, Two of curly-greens, Two rows of early peas, Two of kidney-beans.”
