And to deviate slightly From the An though rightly, Is productive of Cv or D There's an A, as we know, in Approved, In solution there's S , O and L , The A is desirable, But the others quite liable, The story of grades to tell. Napoleon, Lee, Grant and Bismarck, And Generals of lesser degree. All won constellations, By use of formations, That no one expected to see. Where then is the Praise and the plaudit, That the plan which is different should win, Should potential tacticians, Be marked like morticians Or committers of Original Sin ? 3 Oh: R , thou gladsome mirthster, Oh: K , dour attenuate Celt. Consider thy markings, And list to our barkings, Foch still wears a Marecha1's belt.
