The Charge of the Light Braggart

He was a young English soldier in India, A soldier's funds are rarely ample, But he went into a mideast Bodega, He sought a gift for his Indian girl, Gungahontis... Her favorite cologne, Eau de Camille, sat on a shelf...he had not enough money to buy it himself So he pulled out his Dinar Card, and saved the day, at least till about when he stopped to bray about his clout, an hour later when he was killed by runaway horses. Seems he was not the only one running at the mouth.
