Tea with a buttered roll

Which I dunked into the tea.

It was so delicious in the morning

To sit and partake of this delight.

I was but a kid, when on Sunday morn

This was my treat after Mass.

And believe me I looked forward to it.

Next I had to read the funny papers, Mutt and Jeff.

It seemed back then war was not that near,

Nor did I ever think of having to fight in one.

Just a lazy Sunday, enjoying the food I had.

Just a kid, thankful for life's bounty.
