Poetry and Propaganda Look at the poems on the next two pages by Jessie Pope, who wrote for the Daily Mail newspaper. 1. How would these poems make you feel as a young person whose country was at war? Are there any phrases from these poems that would make you feel a certain way? Why? What do you think the poet feels about war? How does that make you feel? Why do you think the poet wrote these poems? What is the effect of repetition of words and punctuation in these poems? These poems made many soldiers angry after they had been to the front, in particular Wilfred Owen. Why do you think this might be? 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
The Call By Jessie Pope (1914) Who's for the khaki suit Are you, my laddie? Who longs to charge and shoot Do you, my laddie? Who's keen on getting fit, Who means to show his grit, And who'd rather wait a bit Would you, my laddie? Who'll earn the Empire's thanks Will you, my laddie? Who'll swell the victor's ranks Will you, my laddie? When that procession comes, Banners and rolling drums Who'll stand and bite his thumbs Will you, my laddie? Who's for the trench Are you, my laddie? Who'll follow French Will you, my laddie? Who's fretting to begin, Who's going out to win? And who wants to save his skin Do you, my laddie?
Who's For The Game? By Jessie Pope (1916) Who s for the game, the biggest that s played, The red crashing game of a fight? Who ll grip and tackle the job unafraid? And who thinks he d rather sit tight? Who ll toe the line for the signal to Go! ? Who ll give his country a hand? Who wants a turn to himself in the show? And who wants a seat in the stand? Who knows it won t be a picnic not much- Yet eagerly shoulders a gun? Who would much rather come back with a crutch Than lie low and be out of the fun? Come along, lads But you ll come on all right For there s only one course to pursue, Your country is up to her neck in a fight, And she s looking and calling for you.
