Valiantly he fought
In an outdated kite
Against Battleships
And modern planes
alike
A young man,
In the prime of life
Fighting Superior
forces
He led his squadron
From the front
Attacking the Scharnhorst,
The Gneisenau
And Prinz Eugen
But were all shot
From the skies
Lieutenant Commander Eugene
Kingsmill Esmonde VC DSO (1 March 1909 – 12 February 1942)
