C Fox Smith wrote many fine poems on both Great Wars and Mike Kennedy put many to music

For something entirely different:

Oh, we haven't seen the Kaiser for a hell of a time,
A hell of a time, a hell of a time,
We came up here just to see what he was doin';
[Name your unit] will be his bloody ruin!
No, we haven't seen the Kaiser for a hell of a time:
Perhaps he's been blown up by a mine (let's hope so!)
He may be the leader of the German band,
Gott straff 'im, he's no cousin of mine!
