[hometext] => First time I've ever written a poem, I was helping my daughter with some homework regarding WW1 recruitment. A friend said he liked it and I would like some comments as I really enjoyed last night writing it.
[bodytext] => YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU that's what I saw, the guy with the moustache his posters galore Only sixteen but I couldn't care, My cousin's a hero already there Age not a problem I'll tell them a lie, Mum'll be proud When I wave her goodbye Ten months training I'm ready for war, Can't wait to get there I'm ready for gore Back home now I didn't have time, to put pen to paper to write down a line Now I know why my cousin he lied, the men that were wounded the millions that died He did not tell them he was older with lie, said he was younger did not want to die It wasn't so good that rotten old war, YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU that's what I saw.
