"We gained nothing but glory,
   and lost our bravest men."

When giving praise to a slaughter
It is necessary to lay blame
Where blame can be laid
To take it off the men who died
   and suffered
And the man who demanded the attack be made.
In fact,
   Let us blame the only one
   Who wanted no fight at all.

In a world of absurdities,
   let this one stand out.
