Beyond Reason
Beyond Reason
Twenty great countries had gone to battle
Staking all, e’en their children and their cattle
Praying to their gods, each had kept vigil
Their flags, each with a different sigil
Hoping to, in supremacy, above the rest soar
Whether they quack, neigh, mew or roar
But the blue lion of the ruined Stamford bridge
A fortress; her roof, now with many a leaky ridge
Bombed in the last war; has now defied reason
And risen from the ash pile of last season
To each and every country, overwhelm
And again, reign supreme in the realm
