Versos English Oliver Herford Target Practice

English poem

Target Practice

by (1863–1935)

Listen in the reader

At the Imperial Schützenfest Fritz Pickelheim led all the rest;

At target practice Pickelheim Could hit the Red Cross every time;

At the clay-baby contest Fritz Scored nineteen out of twenty hits;

And once he won the Kaiser’s purse With nine live babies and a nurse.
