All in the Veg Battle of Berlin
Rode the six hungry ones.
"Forward the Cardboard Brigade!
Charge for the Courgettes!" he said.
Courgette to right of 'em,
Courgette to left of 'em,
Courgette in front of 'em
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with pea-shot & coconut shell,
Boldly they rode & well,
Into the jaws of Beth,
Into the mouth of Mel
Rode the six hungry ones.
