Limericks at War

Alans War_rgb

After being drafted into Word War II

Alan became a soldier, brave and true

But later in life

He had hardship and strife

And gave up the world that he knew.

 

(Possibly my limericks are getting better?  It is difficult to tell.  But nonetheless!  Alan's War is a really good book, and the way Emmanuel does art is fascinating; there's a video here.)
