what a pity i won't be ever listening to THAT boy ;) love how children can put their souls into words they don't quite understand, how they are swept away by the rhythm and (probably) the poetry itself!
but unlike Tennyson's piece, this is a very sad poem about "a very small man with a very small job, small briefcase and small salary" who was drafted and got a small machine gun, small helmet and a very small trenchcoat and then he died and fell in the most unpicturesque way - and then there wasn't enough marble on the whole earth to make his life-size effigy for a memorial. the boy really makes marvels with the poem!
