"How did you live through the Great War?"
Grandad Ho Lee was asked one day.
Little Lees look up to him in awe,
They all want to know the way.

"It's all about preparation,
No zig zag trench, no straightened lines.
Dig a perfect curve excavation,
Built with vertical inclines.

Water features to be just so.
Fix bayonets at the last minute:
German spiked helmets a def no-no,
Whole barbed wire arcs neat uncut.

"Learn well, Grasshoppers, Ho Lee cries.
"What you say rocks, you're the Master,"
The grandkids chorus cheerful replies,
"Feng Shui's the real Art of War."
