Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun?
The lack of one is wounding to our pride.
Last night we found the cutest, 
Little German parachutist
Who looked at our kit 
And giggled a bit, 
Then laughed until he cried…

On Sunday's mock invasion Captain Clark was heard to say
He hadn't even got a brush and comb;
So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun - 
The Home Guard might as well go home.
