The Toy Car


Soldiers man the ramparts

Beer and wine are rife

A soldier makes his rounds

Peace is at hand

The soldier careth not

Yet, he does

Protection of his peers

Is very near and dear

He keeps it upon himself

Never, ever will they fall off a shelf

Shatter to a million pieces

For he is a cushion

He is a young boy with a toy car
