Togo the Modest

'A nation called " fighting man, Ho didn't say a word.

He listened close to aim and plan, Ho didn't say a word "Pogo" they said, " within your hand Is held the future of our land."

His nod replied, I understand."

"Ho didn't say a word.

Ho climbed aboard his battleship And didn't say a word, He found the foes he went to whip And didn't say a word, But plugged them full of smoking load And hammered till the sea turned red, And when they all were sunk or fod Ho didn't say a word, The hattle'won, the country saved, Ho doesn't say a word, In lasting fame his name engraved, He doesn't say " word.

Hisglorions health the whole world drinks, Ho smiles " little, nods and winks; And, like that wise old bird, the Sphinx, He doesn't say a word.
