Wilfred Owen - The Last Laugh
Work rating: Medium

`Oh! Jesus Christ! I`m hit,` he said; and died.
Whether he vainly cursed or prayed indeed,
The Bullets chirped-In vain, vain, vain!
Machine-guns chuckled,-Tut-tut! Tut-tut!
And the Big Gun guffawed.

Another sighed,-`O Mother, -Mother, - Dad!`
Then smiled at nothing, childlike, being dead.
And the lofty Shrapnel-cloud
Leisurely gestured,-Fool!
And the splinters spat, and tittered.

`My Love!` one moaned. Love-languid seemed his mood,
Till slowly lowered, his whole faced kissed the mud.
And the Bayonets` long teeth grinned;
Rabbles of Shells hooted and groaned;
And the Gas hissed.
