Once upon a time in a land far away,
There were soldiers who fought every day.
In the midst of the battle, a skirmish broke out,
And the soldiers took aim, without a doubt.

With rifles and shotguns, they charged to the fray,
But the enemy was strong, and they had to retreat away.
As the shells flew by and the siege began,
The soldiers knew they had to stick to their plan.

A sortie was launched to take the enemy by surprise,
And the soldiers shot with their revolvers and eyes.
But the enemy was fierce, and the fight was tough,
And the soldiers began to fear that they weren't enough.

But then, with a mighty shout and a powerful rout,
The soldiers charged forward, with courage devout.
They fought with all their might, and their aim was true,
And they defeated the enemy, as the sun shone through.

With the battle won, the soldiers cheered with glee,
And they knew that together, they could conquer any spree.
For they were brave and bold, and they knew how to fight,
And they proved it that day, with all of their might.
