Veterans’ Day…..I ‘ates it. I remember back when…..
Very dark it were, down in them trenches,
Even darker than November usually is.
Tommy were in the trench beside me……
Every one of them lads were scared witless……
Ringing were in our ears from the incessant bomb shells…..
Army uniforms was all covered in mud……
No-one thought they would get out alive……
Suddenly a grenade landed beside Tommy.
Didn’t stand a chance, ‘e didn’t…..
All of my mates got killed that day…..
Yes, I got let off lightly just losing my legs.
Veterans’ Day…….I ‘ates it…….It reminds me……….
