Rudyard Kipling - Farewell and adieu....Rudyard Kipling - Farewell and adieu....
Work rating: Medium


    Farewell and adieu to you, Harwich Ladies,     Farewell and adieu to you, ladies ashore!     For we`ve received orders to work to the eastward     Where we hope in a short time to strafe `em some more.     We`ll duck and we`ll dive like little tin turtles,     We`ll duck and we`ll dive underneath the North Seas,     Until we strike something that doesn`t expect us.     From here to Cuxhaven it`s go as you please!     The first thing we did was to dock in a minefield,     Which isn`t a place where repairs should be done;     And there we lay doggo in twelve-fathom water     With tri-nitro-toluol hogging our run.     The next thing we did, we rose under a Zeppelin,     With his shiny big belly half blocking the sky.     But what in the—Heavens can you do with six-pounders?     So we fired what we had and we bade him good-bye.     Farewell and adieu to you, Harwich Ladies,     Farewell and adieu to you, ladies ashore!     For we`ve received orders to work to the eastward     Where we hope in a short time to strafe `em some more.
