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!"
