thatcher was a green grocers daughter
she married a millionaire
(but i don´t hold that against her..)

she had twins while studying law or
something..she was the minister for education
we called her thatcher the milk snatcher..

as juniors we were given a free quarter
every morning-a glass bottle with silver
top..that sometimes in the winter
the birds pilfered-we had a straw..

i recall that contented hush and the poorer
kids that had had no breakfast had two or
sometimes more-(i never made milk monitor..)
but they had to balance the books or

the chieftan tank called for..
why, i would wonder would we soldier
for such a mean spirited pile of *****
and that god forsaken life..?
