AT THE PROMOTIONS BOARD

 

A Squadron Leader is up for promotion

And a board is held in order to be fare

The S.L. must answer three questions

To ascertain if he has the right flare

The chairman to put him at his ease

Directs him to be seated in a chair

“What do you call the gas we breathe”

The squadron leader answered “air”

“What is it that grows on your head”

The squadron leader answered “hair”

“What is the name for an animals’ den”

The squadron leader answered “lair”

“Well done now just one final test

But you can still fail so take care

We are looking for a short phrase

Which will open any door you care

Arrange your previous answers to

Make the phrase to get you there”

The Squadron Leader briefly thought

Then confidently said, “air hair lair”

WHEN KITCHENER CALLED

When they hear the recruiter’s call And they take the King’s shilling They’re trained and uniformed And marched towards the killing
