Little stick o wood


"this aint a sword, it aint a spear,
an arrow, nor a bow,
'tis just a thing I carries round with me where e'er I go
it can not talk or grumble,
and it never answers back.
but it can sniff out vermin
and land them such a crack
O my little stick of o'wood, my little stick o'wood
whacks here'n'there, an everywhere,
no weapons half so good
an im tellen' you,
my friend so stout'n'true
this liddle piece o' timber
has always seen me through

it'll wallop a weasel, sock a stoat,
or fling a ferret from 'is coat
twould knock a fox clean out oh his socks,
my liddle stick of wood!"

[Kal Skirata]

lol and another one, straight from the jolly old long patrol drill sergeants wot!

"you 'orrible lollopy sloppy lot
you idle scruffy bunch
ill 'ave your tails off like a shot
an' boil 'em for lunch!

you lazy loafin layabouts,
ere's wot ill do fer starters
if you dont lissen when i shouts,
ill 'ave your guts fer garters!

O mamma's darlin's dont you cry
your dear ole sergeant's ere
those Vermin, why, they're just small fry,
Tis ME you'll learn to fear!

I'll 'ave your ears'n'elbows,
you sweepin's o' the floors
an' long before the dawn shows,
you'll 'ave marched ten leagues outdoors,

O dreadfull 'alf baked dozy croud
ills take me oath 'tis true,
Long Patrol Warriors, tall,n,proud
Is wot ill make O you!

post what book it's from if you please? I know little stick of wood is Russa's song but what is the other one from?

I personally like the lullabies. like this one from High Rhulain:
Oh you sun now run away, run away,
little stars come out to play, out to play,
baby mine come close your eyes,
sleep until the new dawnrise,
I will sing thee lullabies, through this peaceful night.

All the earth is standing still, standing still,
darkness blankets field and hill, field and hill,
birds do slumber in the nest,
busy bees have gone to rest,
all good mothers know what's best, for the babes they love.

When tomorrow comes anew, comes anew,
there'll be lots of things to do, things to do,
'neath a summer sky of blue,
roses blooming just for you,
birds will sing so sweetly, too, for my own dear one.


But this is my absolute fav from Rakkety Tam:
Old Algy an' Bobbs an' me,
received the official call,
to attend A.S.A.P.
at the Regimental Ball.
All togged up in our best,
weren't we a sight to see,
combed an' brushed and polished,
old Algy an' Bobbs an' me!

Honour an' bow to your partners,
chaps of the Long Patrol.
Whirl'n'curl'n'twirl your tail,
as round the floor we roll.
All the pretty ladies, lookin' for company,
an' didn't we oblige them,
old Algy an' Bobbs an' me!

Refreshments then were served,
an' Bobbs slipped on a flan.
He bumped the Colonel's daughter
headfirst into a pan.
Then Algy slung a pudden,
hit the Major's bride-to-be.
An' the Sergeant fired a crumble
at Algy an' Bobbs an' me!

O pass me a trifle smartly,
with a cherry on top for luck.
It smacked the Quartermaster,
he was bowled out for a duck.
Lathered in cream an' howlin'
'Arrest those bloomin' three.'
We wound up in the guardhouse,
Old Algy an' Bobbs an' me!

[Zephyr]

they are both from the Long Patrol

[Calvin "Freckle" McMurray]

Here's a song i made up:

"Oh! The Streams be bubblin'
And the Birds be singin'
Why how loverly!
No better rest
Than a grassy nest
Under a great big tree!"
