Tell them how their daddy died
Only God in Heaven knows
One poor chap
Frozen in the mud
A perfect plague
A perfect, silly and unnecessary plague
It would make you laugh
I don't suppose
You do get much amusement
In the land of the living

Blatant, ignorant
The Boche drop shells promiscuously
Entirely out of touch
Curse them
Just smoked a cigarette
The kindest deed in my life
Such a wonderful change in a man

A perfect plague
Frozen in the mud
One poor chap
You, the last vision on earth
Tell them how their daddy died
I can't really say I wrote this one; it is compiled entirely of exerpts from letters and journals of soldiers in World War I. I wrote this for an English assignment, but I felt I should post it here, too.

These are the words of real people. I just did some scrapbooking.

We did something like this in class.

Except mine was really bad. D:
