Robert Dorman
75th division
Canadian Expeditionary Force
VERSE AND WORSE BY R.O. (BOB) DORMAN
A PARODY – JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SHRAPNEL
Just a little bit of shrapnel
Fell from out the sky one day
And it nestled on my shoulder
In a kind and loving way
And when the M.O. saw it
Sure it looked so sweet and fair
He said I’ll send you home to Blighty
And they’ll fix you jake there
So he painted it with iodine
To keep the germs away
It’s the only thing that stops’em
No matter what you say
But before I left his office
‘Sure he changed his fickle mind
And he marked me fit for duty
So they shipped me up the line
