I've long mused on buying a rifle,
A chunk of an aeroplane's gear
Or other belligerent trifle
By way of a small souvenir;
I've thought 'twould be fine (and your pardon
I beg if this savours of swank)
If the grotto that graces my garden
Were topped by a tank.
But only this morn I decided
Exactly the thing I preferred
