A BRITISH BARD'S BATTLEBUS CAMPAIGN

[to the music/metre of Roy Harper's 'Lords Prayer' solliloquy]

Who is the master of action....?

Who garrotted Glaswegian gladiators

Who combatted Coatbridge conquerers

Who bomb-bayed Buxton Ballistas

Who shock-awed Swindon swashbucklers

Who baited Basinstoke badinagers

Who trebucheted Totton tacticians

Who overcame Oswestry outflankers

Who Hidenburged Hereford Horatios

Who Waterlooed Worcester warmongerers

Who lanced Leicester legions

Who offensivised Oxford operationists

Who blitzkrieged Birmingham battallions

Who Genghiskhaned Glastonbury garrisons

Who pilloried Portsmouth platoons

Who breached Bristol barricaders

Who excommunicated Exeter encounterers

Who subdued Southampton stalwarts

Who bamboozled Brighton bombadiers

Who Maginot-lined Manchester musketeers

Who long-sworded Liverpool lamblasters

Who commanded Chester corps

Who Bonaparted Barton brigadiers

Who newked Newcastle nosedivers

Who Gaza-razed Glasgow guerillas

Who Ypresed York yompers

Who negated Norwich noncomformists

Who challenged Colcheter combatants

Who corralled Cambridge challengers

Who sword-played Sheffield siegists

Who Hadrian-walled Huddersfield hoodwinkers

Who nullified Nottingham navalists

Who waylaid Wolverhampton warfarers

Who pike-shafted Poole panzers

Who annihilated Aldershot armies

Who placated Putney pretenders

Who super-powered St Albans strategists

Who screwed Spilsby subdefuginists

Who hounded Hebden Bridge holocausters

... and whose Ace is death?

NICK HARPER OF COURSE!!!!

 

Cheers
