Spring
The Sun streams past
The winter curtains
Into my heart
The winter curtains
Into my heart
Mahan vs Corbett
Mahan and a 'decisive battle'
Is it the case of a boiling kettle?
Blowing a lot of hot steam
About something
That to some, May natural seem!
Of navies and land wars wrote Corbett
Sometimes sneered at Mahan, and yet
Cherry picked his naval wars to get His students To read The 'Green Pamphlet'
That Mahan was inspired by Jomini
Certainly adds to the acrimony
That drives some of us Out of our wits
To read That Corbett also drew from Clausewitz
To us who have little choice
Since the greats already rolled their dice
Mutely to their ideas We must agree,
Till we can
Contribute with better pedigree!!

Perhaps more efforts will bloom. May I recommend a surfeit of sentimentality ?
