“They lay along the battery’s side
Below the smoking cannon,
Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love and not of fame;
Forgot was Britain’s glory,
Each heart recalled a different name
But all sang “Annie Laurie.”
Oatmeal has come out conqueror in many battles in many lands, and who can doubt that it will eventually crush to earth the hated Hohenzolerns and Hapsburgs, to say nothing of the unspeakable Turk.
