The CENOTAPH
The Cenotaph calls and England expects,
Our people and public to pay our respects,
Agents of Forces are first in the queue,
To place on the step where garlands are due.
The Army the Navy and Royal Air Force,
A trio together the Legion endorse,
Upright and firm on Remembrance Day,
Two minutes silence the regular way.
The Fourth service too must share in first laying,
Clear is the reason that shouldn’t need saying,
Then four in a line step back and salute,
When resting the wreaths in solemn tribute.
Our Merchant Navy should simply be there,
For giving a life at sea anywhere,
All who served we need to remember,
Equal as heroes this day in November.
