Soldier poem, by a Child

6 soldiers off to war

6 soldiers one by one,

March down the muddy path

6 soldiers two by two,

Fell in the murky bath

6 soldiers three by three

Roasted a chicken last night

6 soldiers four by four

Are going off to fight

6 soldiers five by five

Hiding in the mud

6 soldiers one by one

Die and leak red blood

By Sabreena's daughter 2002
