Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Who'll swell the victor's ranks-
Do you, my laddie
Who's for the khaki suit-
And who'd rather wait a bit-
Who'll follow French-
Are you, my laddie
Who longs to charge and shoot-
Would you, my laddie
Will you, my laddie
Who'll stand and bite his thumbs-
Who's going out to win
When that procession comes,
Are you, my laddie
Who'll earn the Empire's thanks-
And who wants to save his skin-
Banners and rolling drums-
Who's keen on getting fit,
Who's fretting to begin,
Will you, my laddie
Do you, my laddie
Will you, my laddie
Will you, my laddie
Who's for the trench-
Who means to show his grit,
