"Let me see," I said sweetly, "what do you call this monumental work? Oh yes, I remember—Are There Any Important Omissions from my Saturday-to-Monday Equipment?"
"Rubbish!" said the soldier. "The title is—Have I Put Everything in?"
BY THE CANAL IN FLANDERS.
By the canal in Flanders I watched a barge's prow
Creep slowly past the poplar-trees; and there I made a vow
That when these wars are over and I am home at last
However much I travel I shall not travel fast.
Horses and cars and yachts and planes: I've no more use for such;
For in three years of war's alarms I've hurried far too much;
