    Col
    onel 
    Montmorency, 

    who was 
    in Calcutta 
    in 
    92, 

    emerged from 
    his retirement 
    for 
    the 
    war. 

    He 
    wasn't very 
    pleased 

    with 
    all 
    he 
    heard 
    and all he 
    saw, 

    but 
    whatever he 
    felt, 

    he 
    tightened his 
    belt and 

    organized 
    a corps. 

    Poor 
    Colon
    el 
    Mont
    morency 
    thought, 


    considering all 
    the 
    wars he'd 
    fought, 

    the 
    Home 
    Guard was 
    his 

    job to 
    do or 
    die 

    But 
    after 
    days 
    and 
    weeks and 
    years, 

    bravely 
    drying 
    his 
    manly 
    tears, 

    he 
    wrote the 
    following 
    letter 

    to the 
    Minister 
    of 
    Sup
    ply 

    Could 
    you 
    please 
    oblige 
    us 
    with 
    a Bren 
    gun, 

    or 
    failing 
    that, 
    hand 
    grenade will 
    do 

    We've 
    got some 
    ammunition, 

    in 
    a rather 
    damp 
    condition 

    ma
    jor 
    house has 
    an ark 
    with us 

    that was 
    used at 
    Water
    loo 

    With 
    the 
    vicar's 
    tirrapante, 

    a pitchfork 
    and 
    a spade, 

    it's 
    rather 
    hard 
    to guard 

    an aero
    drome. 

    So 
    if 
    you can't 
    ob
    lige 

    us with 
    Bren 
    gun

    the 
    Home 
    Guard 
    might 
    as well go 
    home. 

    Could 
    you 
    please 
    oblige 
    us 

    with a 
    Bren 
    gun? 

    We're 
    getting awfully 

    tired of 
    drawing 
    lot
    s. 

    Today 
    we 
    had a shipment 

    of 
    some curious 
    equipment, 

    And 
    just for 
    a prank, 

    they 
    sent us 
    tank that 
    ties 
    it
    self in 
    knots. 

    On 
    Sunday's 
    mock invasion, 

    Captain 
    Clark 
    was heard 
    to say 

    He 
    hadn't 
    even 
    got a 
    brush 
    and 
    comb. 

    So 
    if 
    you can't 
    ob
    lige 

    us with a 
    brand 
    gun

    The 
    Home 
    Guard 
    might 
    as well go 

    home. 

    Col
    onel 
    Mont
    morency 
    planned, 

    in 
    case the 
    enemy tried 
    to land, 

    to 
    drive them 
    back with 
    skill 

    and ar
    moured force. 

    He 
    realised 
    his 
    army 

    should be 
    mech
    anised, 

    course, 

    but somewhere 
    inside, 

    experience 
    cried, 

    my 
    king
    dom 
    for a horse. 

    Poor 
    Col
    onel 
    Mont
    morency 
    tried, 

    at 
    infinite 
    cost of 
    time and 
    pride, 

    to 
    tackle 
    his super
    iors 
    again. 

    Hav
    ing just 
    one 
    motorbike, 

    fourteen 
    swords 
    and a marlin 
    spike, 

    he 
    wrote 
    the 
    following 
    letter 

    in the 
    following 
    ur
    gent 
    train. 

    Could you 
    please 
    oblige 

    us 
    with the 
    Bren 
    gun? 

    We 
    need it 
    very badly, 
    I'm 
    afraid. 

    Our 
    local 
    crossword 
    solver 

    has 
    an excellent 
    revolver. 

    But during a 
    short attack 
    on 
    the 
    fort, 


    the trigger got 
    misplayed. 

    In 
    course 
    of operations 

    planned for 
    Friday 
    afternoon, 

    our 
    orders 
    are to 
    storm 

    the Hippo
    drome. 

    So 
    if 
    you can't 
    oblige 
    us 

    with 
    the 
    Bren 
    gun

    the 
    Home 
    Guard 
    might 
    as well go 
    home. 

    Could 
    you 
    please 
    ob
    lige 
    us 

    with the 
    Bren 
    gun? 

    The 
    lack of one 
    is wounding 
    to our 
    pride. 

    Last 
    night we 
    found the 
    cutest little 

    Ger
    man 
    parachutist. 

    He 
    looked at our 
    kit and 
    giggled 

    a bit and 
    laughed 
    un
    til he 
    cried. 

    We'll 
    have to 
    hide that 
    armored 
    car 

    when 
    marching 
    to Berlin. 

    We'd 
    all 
    must be ashamed 
    of 
    it in 
    Rome 

    So 
    if 
    you can't 
    ob
    lige 

    us with a 
    brand 
    Gun

    the 
    Home 
    Guard 
    might 
    as well go 
    home

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
