“Self-loading rifle, seven-point-six-two,
length fifty-two inches with large size butt,

Number EIGHT! Look this way! WAKEY, WAKEY!
Take that tank-drill sabot shot for a run
TEN times round the square and STAY AWAKE!!
Number three are we happy? JOIN NUMBER EIGHT!!
Number one open that window – MV?
Wait for it, wait for it; I ask the question
and you wait, and then I nominate – number seven.
Too slow, rejoin the class.
WHEN I SAY RUN ROUND THAT SQUARE, I MEAN RUN!!
MV-seven-two-zero-feet-per-sec.

Have you got that? Wonderful memories(?)
Any questions? THERE’D BETTER BE…What’s this?
What do you mean you don’t know? Why don’t you know?
You don’t know? I’LL TELL YOU WHY YOU DON’T KNOW
ITS BECAUSE I HAVE NOT TOLD YOU – YET!!”
