With the Serbs in Macedonia

96 WITH THE SERBS IN MACEDONIA
What's more, they're just as loyal as they're brave ;
Look 'ow they let the Bulgars mobilize !
They knew 'ow Foxy Ferdy would be'ave—
We messed about an' shut our bloomin' eyes !
They
'ad their chance to strike a knock-out blow,
But, being Alleys, arst permission first ;
An' we— oh ! God forgive us !—we said, " No,"
An' didn't 'elp 'em when the storm-cloud burst !
You don't forgit about the Belgian's wrongs
(Poor bUghter ! 'eaven knows 'e copped it bad !),
But quite as deep a symperfy belongs
To Serbia, whose woes is just as sad !
Old Serbo fairly got it in the neck—
The 'Un's a saint to what them Bulgars did !
They made 'is 'appy 'ome a 'opeless wreck,
An' 'ardly spared a woman or a kid !
'E looks on all the British as 'is friend,
'E loves us, though I'm blessed if I know why ;
Like us, 'e swore to stick it to the end,
Or till there was no more of 'im to die !
An' what us chaps out 'ere wants understood
Is, now at last this rotten War is won.
Because we've all made pals with 'im for good.
It's up to us to see as 'e ain't " done " !
