AN AIR DUEL.
That spot in the sky's a German " t&wb" (You can hear the dove a-eooing), With a cortple of Huns to spot our -guns And find what our lads aro doing. He may carry a bomb or two to drop As a kind of recreation, But wherever he's flown he's been always known By his thirst for information.
The' "tawb" is a timid bird and shy, There's a "8.E." gone to meet him. You'll see how he'll turn and show his
When our craft goes out to greet him,, But he's just too late to escape his fate, For our chaps have got above him, And he's back to the south with his heart in his mouth, For lie knows that our boys don't love him!
He staggers and trips and dives and dips While the bullets sing around him. Sec there! 'Sec there! They have cot him fair, • lor there's one at least that's found him! He's down and out in the British lines; He was just a bit too clever, And his pals that spy from the distant sky Will be bas'nfuller now than ever! 'Touchstone, in the Daily Mail.
