From a friend with a nice poem

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me and You
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

Forward!!! he cried from the rare
and the front rank died
And the General sat, and the lines on the map moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round

Haven't you heard it's a battle of Words the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out

It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting'g all about

Out of the way!!! it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind

For want of the price of tea and a slice of bread
The old man died.....................................
