Book Cover & Preview Text
For a large ugly lobster blocked his ascent
By prodding prawn's body and causing a dent.
"Now why are you travelling quite so fast,
And pray tell me why I should let you go past?"
"For a long while now I have needed a runner,
My army is small with no colonel or gunner.
My brigadier left and my privates have scattered
My barracks have fallen and my flags are tattered."
"You, my boy, will serve under me,
Together we'll fight - our enemies will flee.
The strength in your shoulders, that look in your eye,
Will carry us forward, our flag will fly high!"
