Hope springs eternal...
'twouldn't be a Quirk would it?
'Twas brillig and the Slithy Quirk
Did drone and burble in the blue
All floppy were his wing controls
(And his observer too)
'Beware the wicked Albatros',
The O.C. quirks' had told him flat;
'Beware the Hun-Hun bird and shun
The frumious Halberstadt'.
But while through uffish bumps he ploughed,
The Albatros, with tail high,
Came diving out the tulgey cloud
And let his bullets fly.
One, two, one, two, and through and through
The Lewis gun went tick-a-tack,
The Hun was floored, the Quirk has scored,
And came 'split arsing' back.
'Oh hast thou slain the Albatros?
Split one, with me, my beamish boy.
Our RAF-ish scout has found them out',
The C.O. wept for joy.Last edited by Flash MacTavish; 21-02-2012 at 23:03.

There's a touch of Lewis Carol ('Jabberwocky') and Samuel Taylor Coleridge ('The Rime of the Ancient Mariner') in there.

Here's big clue: it's a product of the US of A.

There is indeed. I notice that I forgot to credit the author who was William Bond of 40 Sqn.
