Grandma’s Food
Where d'you get your food from Grandma?
Though I'm grateful that you feed me a lot
From the biscuits to the chocolate
To the tea bags to the crumpets
You have products no one else has got

In other people's houses they have Cornflakes and Kit-Kats
But your cupboard hasn't any of these
You give me unbranded malt flakes
And mysterious wafers
And uniquely semi-circular cheese

Where d'you get your food from, Grandma?
I'm puzzled by the packets that you buy
I've never seen them on TV
Or in any supermarket
Yet you somehow have an endless supply

Come to think of it how long has that stuff been in your cupboard
And why do you always offer me more?
Why do I never see you eating any of it yourself?
Have you been keeping it in there since the War?
