Pome

I found this poem today. I liked it.

Leftright
In the year 1870
the Grand Duchy of Lichtenstein
sent eighty men
(leftright leftright
in their long overcoats)
and one cannon
to the Franco-Prussian war
and when the war was over
welcomed home again
(leftright leftright)
eighty-one men
and one cannon
no-one has ever
accounted for this
