Tommy

I went into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes," when the drums begin to roll.

My character limit is up, but there are two more stanzas at this URL for adventurous should who want the rest of the poem!

Ai = slop
IP = heuristic

Even the library failed us, as so many have not been recognised for their contributions like women, other ethnic groups and those of different physical and mental dispositions. Thinking otherwise is censored rather than rewarded. The reason being is the beast, and that is corporate sovereignty, giving power to those who bet and fix populist ideologies ground on inequality and injustice. They serve the Ultra Rich UR, who deal in corruption so are rewarded by tyrants and extremists. The book and legacy media have been updated so the power social software can not only influence but Control the programmes of Information Processing. Now the URs can impose the uniformity of their interests so as to crush those of the many that oppose their greed and corruption. Artificial information = Ai, so not intelligence but the technology of indoctrination representing the interests the UR corporate investors who believe ‘freedom = inequality and injustice’ is the right freedom and the only freedom that counts! #UtrasAreTheOppressors #UltraRich #URs #UIltaRichAbusers #FreedomFromFascistAbusers

From this article:

One of those authors, Emma Waters, is working with the White House on a campaign to “persuade” women to have more babies—an effort that includes scrapping sex education in favor of “menstrual cycle classes” designed to teach the optimal time to conceive.

At the same time, the Trump administration has blocked funding for teen pregnancy prevention programs, blasting them as “radical indoctrination,”

It’s the same with educational versions of software.
