Titus Oates & Auroleo Dead<\/b><\/p>\n
I believe that I saw Titus Oates and Auroleo Dead<\/p>\n
Walking in the December field today<\/p>\n
I could not be sure as the sun was bright low<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They appeared to be heading towards the enchanted copse<\/p>\n
And soon vanished from view<\/p>\n
How I envied the tiny wood fairies<\/p>\n
Mongoose<\/b><\/p>\n
Will you be my friend?<\/i><\/p>\n
Gimenez held the dying man in his arms oblivious to the shells and bullets that were shredding everything in sight<\/p>\n
I do not have any friends you know<\/i><\/p>\n
That is why I joined the army<\/i><\/p>\n
I am quite enjoying it even on days like these<\/i><\/p>\n
The dying man looked at Gimenez\u2018s youthful face<\/p>\n
When I was your age I did not have any friends and that is why I joined the army<\/i><\/p>\n
But look at me now I have been shot to pieces and if I am not mistaken that is my leg over there in that shell hole<\/i><\/p>\n
What use are friends now?<\/i><\/p>\n
Gimenez kissed the bloodied forehead of the dying man<\/p>\n
I will be your friend<\/i><\/p>\n
The dying man smiled weakly and became limp<\/p>\n
Gimenez closed his terrible eyes<\/p>\n
Take cover Gimenez!<\/i><\/p>\n
For fucks sake take cover Gimenez !<\/i><\/p>\n
They are coming this way<\/i><\/p>\n
I will but not before I bury my friend\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reclining Wolves<\/b><\/p>\n
The woodman and His Mate were deep in the forest<\/p>\n
Although the day was bright the sunlight found it difficult to filter through the deep trees and illuminate the many paths<\/p>\n
His Mate looked up and scratched his head<\/p>\n
Doubt if there be much air today these woods will be stifling<\/i><\/p>\n
I agree we will have to take our time today<\/i><\/p>\n
How\u2019s yer book goin?<\/i><\/p>\n
Well it is going well<\/i><\/p>\n
What\u2019s it called?<\/i><\/p>\n
Wives and Daughters<\/i><\/p>\n
When will I be able to read it?<\/i><\/p>\n
Dunno maybe this year maybe the next<\/i><\/p>\n
I am a chocolate soldier<\/i><\/p>\n
I know<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
