79 years ago today<\/p>\n
a bouncing baby boy<\/p>\n
A ray<\/p>\n
of light for his dear mother \u00a0who<\/p>\n
wanted a girl<\/p>\n
as mothers do<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
swaddling clothes<\/p>\n
the colour pink<\/p>\n
the Airnraid sirens on the blink<\/p>\n
And no cradle \u00a0sadly<\/p>\n
just a sink<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Buzz bombs<\/p>\n
going overhead<\/p>\n
mum and dad both Fireman led<\/p>\n
putting out fires<\/p>\n
where bombs had dropped<\/p>\n
born at home<\/p>\n
then out I Popped<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
black out curtains<\/p>\n
ration books<\/p>\n
fairy cakes<\/p>\n
my mummy cooks<\/p>\n
smoke and mirrors everywhere<\/p>\n
bombed our houses<\/p>\n
its not fair.<\/p>\n
