HUNGRY DAYS
by Frank Seddon
 
I remember how we sat there,
While Mother made the cake
And how we stole the raisins
On the night she used to bake.
The time is now a memory
From nineteen twenty six,
When all the world was poverty
Except that precious mix.
Just before she stirred the mix
I used to make a wish.
That this night was going to be my turn
For licking out the dish.
