MOTIVE
I little thought to find me clothed in khaki; polished, buttoned, beerful, and yet, I’m glad! 'l’m proud! I’m cheerful! for I have found a new adventure; found new reason for my being on the loose. Come now, be cheerful with me have a smoke and sing rowd’ly: for soon I must be going to ancient, timeless Egypt; “Roll out the Barrel!” " for soon I must be doing my full share in this world's greatest, but most senseless War and soon I will be seeing I in new light—leading men to battle 5 last seen in centre of the fight—for here, in nature’s mad-fantastic way’s revealed to me my power to write something more than magic; something that is mine and mine alone: -realism! Old ? but real as running water in the Nile, e Re war a This tame contention is my sweetest bone. 5. —Lindsay M. Constable.
