Subject: The Cowards

A bit of ordinary rhyme, and many appologies.

The Cowards:

Our Captain’s courage we doubted
Because he could be kind
So when our troops were routed
We left the man behind

“Come on, you cowards!” Our captain said
“Come on, you cowards!” He cried
He cursed the cowards who cut and fled
And he mourned the men that died

We saw their soldiers coming
And their mighty tanks advance
Our Captain battled bravely
But he never had a chance

Their soldiers swarmed around him
But our Captain would not hide
He was fighting when they found him
And he fought until he died

So now we come to claim the dead
To praise our Captain’s name
To wonder why we cut and fled
To hang our heads in shame

We called the man a coward
And I often wonder why:
Our Captain was a quiet man
An educated guy
