That stupid duke

I'm here! I didn't (in my time zone at least) miss the dead line! Woohoo! Now this is one that was probably pretty close. I mean, honest mistake really. Not your fault you read it wrong.
 I bring you a report of the gravest urgency. What's that? Yes sir, I'll be quick. I am aware there is a war on, sir. 

It's the Grand Old Duke of York, sir. Yes I know he doesn't like to be called that sir but everyone does. He has ten thousand men! He's marched them up the hill! No sir wait, I can see them sir, he's marched them down again! 

Yes sir, our position is supposed to be a secret, sir, but that Duke never listens to anyone. He thinks he knows how to win the war! Between me and you sir, I'm not sure he's right, you know, up there. A wee bit insane sir is what I'm saying. 

No sir, of course I'm not speaking that way about my superior officer. Yes sir, I understand the consequences. 

Yes sir, I'll get right back up that hill and tell him to stop. 

Still, you must admit sir that when they were up, boy were they ever up. Now that they're down though, they look pretty down. 

Yes sir, I'm on my way. No sir, my behind does not need to be introduced to your boot sir.
