    '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.

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

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