Once upon a time, in a world so vast,
There was a war, from the past.
World War I, it was called,
Where many brave soldiers were enthralled.

There was a regiment, proud and strong,
With a mascot, a diminutive canine along.
A faithful friend, who'd never fail,
Always by their side, without any trail.

With trench as their home, they'd pay tribute,
To the ones who fought, and to the bravery construe.
Artillery was their constant friend,
Defending their allies, till the bitter end.

The sergeant was the leader of them all,
Distinguishing himself, with his bravery, standing tall.
The stalemate was tough, but they didn't give in,
Fighting for what was right, till the very end.

So let us remember, this tale we've heard,
Of bravery and friendship, that still stands tall and absurd.
For the soldiers of the past, and their canine friend,
We pay tribute, to their bravery, till the very end.
