Introduction

Perhaps there should be some things you don't joke about..

Warlike Limericks

A soldier when facing the Hun
Ran out of live rounds for his gun.
He said "As a hero
I rate a big zero
I'm afraid I've the runs. I must run!"

A gallant lieutenant once said
"If I stick up my head I'll be dead.
Their aim is so good
That my brains might be strewed.
So YOU stick YOUR head up instead."

The General said to his aide
"We must send some chaps out on a raid.
It's time for a stunt
On our sector of front
Or they'll think I'm not worth what I'm paid."

A Noncom suggested we drop
Any plan to go over the top.
He said "Listen to me.
Let's stay here - make the tea,
Just in case the attack is a flop."

The Colonel announced his decision
"What we need is a suicide mission
So find one or two
Chaps with not much to do
Who can bring this great plan to fruition."

While leading a night-time patrol
An officer said "This is droll
But we need to take care
If the Hun fires a flare,
Just pretend we are out for a stroll."
