THE TANK. The following poetry on the visit of the tank. 'Ju,Üan' to Carmarthen was com- nosed by Evelyn Evans, of Richmond-ter- race. When it is considered that she is only about 18 years of age, it will be agreed that her effort is a commendable one- Last Thursday in Carmartnen Excitement reigned supreme And flags hung from the windows In red, and blue and green. A holiday was given And every one turned out From shops and every office And farms all round about. For what d'you think did happen. A tank came to the town, And some old bags and wire It easily knocked down. The Square was full of people- Gaping mouths and eager eyes,- Who viewed the whole performance With very great surprise. Old men were there, and women, Who craned their necks so high, And trod on other people's toes To see the tank pass by. Big boys and little children, Fat girls and thin ones too, Tall men and- short ones also. All types mixed through and through. The tank rolled slowly onward, The people cheered loud; But when it crept upon the bags It thrilled the watching crowd. Enthusiastic watchers Stared till their eyes grew round, The looking on was very tense, One hardly heard a. sound. At last the tank was over The breathless moment passed The ice was broken—people brought Most of their cash at last. Carmarthen turned up SBorty The bonds went up with bound., \nd then we found we'd gathered Two hundred thousand pounds. R. E. E.
