TE NT 22 BURSTS INTO VERSE
Behind the cheery face of Sigmn Fool Atkinson (cable wagon), lies a mind that runs in rhymes. He dedicated the verses below to his old home, Tent 22:-
Whenever there’s something They l want gto do,
The blighters all call in At Tent Twenty - Two.
The serjeant he calls us, With voice sweet and low;
The corp’ral he tell., us We really should go.
So we all tumble out, And with many a groan,
Swearing and cursing, In chorus we moan: "What have we done To deserve this cruel task ? What have we done To deserve it ?" we ask. "Nothing, dear lads," Comes the ger ole reply. "But you're here to do it — NotP to ask why." .
