Although us kids thought life was fun,
The life we led was a difficult one.
With very few men now about the place,
We boys had to grow up at a rapid pace.
At times we were allowed to run free
Til mum called us in for our tea.
Mainly this was one slice of bread
On which marg and jam were spread.
Rations then were very small,
If you got any at all.
Plenty of veg and tons of stew;
The vegetables everyone grew.
Pork, lamb, beef bones - whatever.
Any meat rarely, if not ever.
Sometimes we got a piece of fish;
Homemade chips - what a dish!
