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.

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