To the shop of Bope and Pradley,
Having seen their thrilling adverts.
In the Tube and in the Tatler.
Pradley sold him all he needed,
Bope a lot of things he didn’t,
Pressed upon him socks and puttees,
Haversacks and water-bottles.
Made him tunics for the winter,
Made him tunics for the summer,
And some very baggy breeches.
