The India that we read about
And may have been misled about
In memory has has still remained intact
Though 'Pukka Sahib' traditions may have cracked
And thinned
The good old Indian army was a fact
That famous monumental man
The Officer and Gentleman
Can still recall the glories of Bombay or Katmandu
In certain clubs you still can glimpse
Matured or embryonic 'Blimps'
Vivaciously speculating as to what became of who
They order pites and call for choder pegs
And drain their reminiscence to the dregs—
Whatever became of old Boosey?
You know, I haven't seen him for a year
Is it true that young Briggs had to marry that floosey
He met in the Vale of Kashmir?
Have you had any word
Or that chap in the "Third"
Was it Prosser or Pyecroft or Pym?
He was stationed in Simla, or was it Bengal?
But I know he got blind at a ball in Nepal
And wrote several four-letter words on a wall
I wonder what happened to him!
