WOODEN GUN


A toy is only a play thing t obe broken and thrown
Away but even a kiddies toy may bring
A tear or sigh some day. They gave 
Him a gun to play with it was his
Favourite toy. They bought some brave
Tin soldiers and he thought it all such
Fun. To shoot those brave tin soldiers
With his little wooden gun. When I
Grow up he told them IŽll go and fight
The foe till one day he carried a real 
Gun and now he sleeps where the 
Poppies grow. A token he left behind 
Him a memory of days of joy the gun
He used to play with when he was a
Little boy. They bought some brave tin
Soldiers and he thought it all such fun
To shoot those brave tin soldiers with
His little wooden gun
