/// In the Charge of the Carabinieri
at Pastrego the gunfire is scary.
He who rides a white steed,
though it runs at high speed, is a target—
(the first they will bury).

Sebastiano: Okay. I’ve finished the bridle. Everybody reset, again, and I’ll start working on your hat.

The clown who led the attack/
Was beheaded by Austrian flak/
So we followed his horse/
For the rest of the course -/
And half of us never came back.

The casualty rate was insane:/
We charged over open plain!/
No cover at all/
Every dang cannonball/
Terminated a living brain..
Call me Ishmael about 7 hours ago
And after the battle had ended/
The few who survived were commended/
And as a reward/
(Which could not be ignored)/
Their enlistments were promptly extended.
