I sing of the Service fast going to pot,

And it seems no one cares a tittle or jot,

Now, any jackass, when not eating grass,

Can bray regulations and have them to pass.

It looks much as if we were surely between

A reformatory school and a place not so cool;

And we look like fat little boys of fifteen

Who had played in the dirt

And when whipt had been pert,

And so had to go without our dessert.
