I've got this one on my website - if your printout had something above
the
poem about cats, standing stones and gaming, that's from my site.
I also don't know who originally wrote it - thanks for someone else
ID'ing
the author in another post on this thread - I'll update the page soon.
I'm a Kipling fan, politically incorrect dead white European guy that he
is, so finding this one on a Usenet group ages ago was pretty cool.
He wrote some blood-chilling poems about Afganistan, come to think of
it.
Hope none of the troops operating there now have read them... "...roll

yer rifle an' blow out your brains/an' go to yer God like a soldier..."
