Lance Corporal Alexander Barr 193 Field Ambulance R.A.S.C.

POOR OLD DUCE

Poor old Duce 鈥 he鈥檚 had his warning,
Premier Churchill told him straight,
He鈥檚 apt to waken up some morning
And find his regime out of date.

Poor old Musso, sadly wond鈥檙ing
What to do to save his face,
Through stupidity and blund鈥檙ing
Sad has been his fall from grace.

Once he was a great Dictator,
How he loved to preen and strut,
Shed a tear for that poor craiter
Thinking, 鈥淚鈥檓 an awful mutt.鈥

His master, Hitler, won鈥檛 let up,
Once Musso thought he was a mate,
But Adolf sold the Wop a pup,
Benito wakened up too late.

Now he鈥檚 just a figurehead 鈥
His country ruled by Storm troops 鈥
Musso would be better dead,
Just one more of Adolf鈥檚 dupes.

Churchill gave him just one chance 鈥
Ask for peace or take the blitz,
To Hitler鈥檚 tune he鈥檚 forced to dance
No wonder Musso鈥檚 lost his wits.

Meanwhile, Churchill keeps his word 鈥
The R.A.F. is going strong,
From both sides Musso 鈥榞ets the bird鈥
I guess he won鈥檛 last very long!

漏 L/Cpl. Alexander Barr. 193 Fld. Amb. R.A.S.C.
