Life to be sure
Is nothing much to lose But young men think it is And we were young I read those lines and think of Frank Taylor. I’m also reminded of my English teacher who used to bound into the class reciting a verse which he said was Housman’s: What! Still alive at 22 A fine upstanding chap like you Like as not you won’t be glad When they come to hang you lad. He was teasing us; it’s a parody. I’d like to know who wrote it.
