Rice

Anonymous 1942 -1945

 

            We're fed the food of a diet

            Thatīs enough to cause a riot

            There's no choice but to try it

            It's simply plain boiled rice RICE.

             

            It's the regular daily winner

            For breakfast tea and dinner

            It would make a Saint a sinner

            To eat three meals of RICE.

             

            They can boil it and bake it

            Grind it, mould it or fake it

            But no matter how they make it

            It's still damned RICE.

             

            They could do better if they tried

            For a change of diet we've cried

            We'd settle for egg and bacon fried

            Instead of this blasted RICE.

             

            When we wake up in the morning

            And do the usual yawning

            The 'runs' start without warning

            When you're fed with too much RICE.

             

            Whether you're Arthritic or athletic

            A chronic diabetic

            It really gets pathetic

            When for every meal it's RICE.

             

            Ladies, when this war is over

            Bells will ring from York to Dover

            But if you want to live in clover

            Don't serve up RICE.

             

            Our days will be quite palmy

            When we've finally left this army

            And to keep us from going barmy

Don't mention RICE.
