Songs of Action is a collection of songs by Arthur Conan Doyle. It consists of three types of musical rhymes: poems about historical battles, poems about sports and poems that tell a story. Excerpt:
"A trader sailed from Stepney town—
Wake her up! Shake her up! Try her with the mainsail!
A trader sailed from Stepney town
With a keg full of gold and a velvet gown:
Ho, the bully rover Jack,
Waiting with his yard aback
Out upon the Lowland sea!"
