BISMARK SEA 1943
It was early nineteen forty three, Kokoda fight was over,
Thirteen thousand Japanese were dead amongst the clover,
New Guinea still had fifty thousand more, in wait,
To kill a few Australians, Yanks were helping us old mate.
Then across the Bismark sea, came the troopships eight,
With 8 destroyer’s coming too, 5 thousand soldiers fate,
Aussie Catalina watched at 90 miles an hour,
Reinforcements coming for the Japanese,
Still thought they had the power.
U.S. B17s dropped from twenty thousand feet,
The bomb loads that they carried,
Aussie Beaufighters went in at mast height ,
Sinking ships and deathly harried,
8 troop ships were sunk,
and 4 of the Destroyers,
Japanese fought to the death in New Guinea,
Hand to hand there was no quarter,
10 machine guns firing forward,
Beaufighter, caused a slaughter,
Ships n boats an all that floats,
Were killed there in the water.

Leon Bismark "Bix" Beiderbecke
(March 10, 1903 – August 6, 1931)
It was said of Bix
That his Cornet spat out notes
Like shooting bullets at a bell
And his solos sounded as sweet
As a girl saying yes.
Bix Beiderbecke was simply the best
He was at the birth of hot music
His light illuminated
The jazz age
His Cornet accompanied
The roaring twenties
He was a romantic legend,
The young man with a Horn
But in keeping with the character
Of the very best of youth
His flame burned very brightly
But equally it burned quickly
And like the most beautiful star
He burned himself out
All too soon
Bix lived for the jazz
But died for the booze

Billy Bismark, bounced his ball on Bentley Green,
Susie Shaw, shaded in a distant dream,
Billy Bismark bounced his ball onto her head,
Susie Shaw, then shook her hand and said,
“Naughty Billy Bismark, bouncing with your ball!”
“Naughty Billy Bismark, that Ball will you befall!”
Billy Bismark, bounced his ball on Bentley Green,
Tilly Trite, lay under hedge unseen!
Billy Bismark bounced his ball upon her lap!
Tilly Trite, then to him did so snap!
Naughty Billy Bismark bouncing with your ball!
Naughty Billy Bismark that ball will you befall!
Billy Bismark bounced his ball on Bentley Green,
Policeman Pete was walking past unseen!
Billy Bismark, bounced his ball onto his hat,
The Policeman took his ball, and that was that!
