Tolerance for a short time

This comes from something that was real and still is, albeit forgotten probably by now unless Blair went back to Scotland and they would have him, and that is the living ones as apposed to the disasters.

Bodger

Rain was fine as we spent our time in Scotland by a loch
Once a year a gathering
To honour those lost

Funeral in those days
Just gather by the trees
Those lost were gathered
In a steam driven submarine

Officer and anyone
With ceremonial rifles
Came to the present
And with history there

Adopted the same stance
As a Steam driven submarine
And raised their rifles in salute
Straight into the trees
