Japanese 10 Shilling Note At Kokoda In 1942

Kokoda Ten Shilling note......................... Johnno had been out a tracking Japanese , in Kokoda's , misty green... It was 1942, smell of death, slaughter so obscene....... Suddenly two Japanese appeared, Don fired and death was there....... Just pointed the old Tommy gun, two bursts two bodies, yair.....(aussie yeah) Don checked the Officer first and found a ten bob note.... Invasion money for Australia , in case you didn't know it?....... Bertie had wounded another Japanese, a big Mongolian type.... He was kneeling saying the Lords prayer, Bertie smashed his skull to tripe.... Brains splattered up Dons back as he found the ten bob note.... And Bertie muttered 'we're here to kill Jap's ' checking the pockets of his coat.... .45 was old Tommy gun, one or two in a Japanese brisket.... And Death appeared as cruel and hard as the Aussie Army biscuit.... After that Don went alone to find the enemy line.... Treading carefully sniffing the breeze, for the hay smell, Jap divine..... Drover Dick wanted a prisoner, to talk of old Tojo...(Colonel Dick Marson) But they mostly died in a bayonet fight or a bullet made em slow..... You heard the little rattle as the Japanese loaded a bullet.... And after 5 shots from his Arisaka , fixed bayonet you just knew it.... Bayonet parry or a butt slap, spike him quick as you will.... To spill your blood hes coming, stop the bugger with a 45 cal. pill.....
