Cold salad and ham and mam said, that's for tea,
we
wanted chips and peas with curry sauce
but we ate what we got
because in our house we only got what was there
and it was salad and ham as mam had said,so
we scoffled it down with brown bread and butter.

In the eating of this memory, full of tea and tears of what used to be
I want to eat salads and ham for eternity
with mam and dad
and tea,
the family
happily ever
after.
