Who's for the trench- <br />Are you, my laddie? <br />Who'll follow French- <br />Will you, my laddie? <br />Who's fretting to begin, <br />Who's going out to win? <br />And who wants to save his skin- <br />Do you, my laddie? <br /> <br />Who's for the khaki suit- <br />Are you, my laddie? <br />Who longs to charge and shoot- <br />Do you, my laddie? <br />Who's keen on getting fit, <br />Who means to show his grit, <br />And who'd rather wait a bit- <br />Would you, my laddie? <br /> <br />Who'll earn the Empire's thanks- <br />Will you, my laddie? <br />Who'll swell the victor's ranks- <br />Will you, my laddie? <br />When that procession comes, <br />Banners and rolling drums- <br />Who'll stand and bite his thumbs- <br />Will you, my laddie?<br /><br />Jessie Pope<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-call-46/
