I Remember ..,
The enemy officer stood.
His arm went back.
He'd begun the throw.
It left his hand....,,
He'd let it go!
White smoke, filled the gully.
His screams ....filled the air.
While flames ...
engulfed his body.
Phosphorus !
He'd set the fuse.
It had two settings ......
Instantaneous ....apparently.
With a choice of soon .....
Which gave you,
A couple of seconds.
And the other it seemed,
Was set for .......
yesterday.
