With apologies to Tennyson[1]... my lightheared tribute to the AFPLarters... 	

"The Charge of the LART Brigade" 

Half a day half a day 			
Half a day onward 			
Into the thick of the posts 			
Rode the AFPLarters: 			
'Forward the LART Brigade 			
Charge for the rats' they said 			
Into the thick of the posts 			
Came the AFPLarters. 			
'Forward the LART Brigade!' 			
Was there a clue diplay'd? 			
Not that the group could see; 			
Someone had blunder'd: 			
Theirs not to make reply, 			
Theirs not to reason why, 			
Theirs but to do & die, 			
Into the thick of the posts 			
Came the AFPLarters. 			
Lusers to right of them, 			
Lusers to left of them, 			
Lusers in front of them 			
Blustered and Blundered; 			
AFPLarters, or so they tell, 			
Boldly they wrote, and well, 			
Chasing the lusers low 			
Into the mouth of Hell 			
Came the AFPLarters. 			
When will their glory fade? 			
O the wild charge they made! 			
All of AFP wonder'd. 			
Honour the charge they made! 			
Honour the LART Brigade, 			
Noble AFPLarters!
