Here you will find the Poem Sing a Song of War-Time of poet Nina Murdoch
Sing a Song of War-time, Soldiers marching by, Crowds of people standing, Waving them `Good-bye?, When the crowds are over, Home we go to tea, Bread and margarine to eat, War economy! If I ask for cake or Jam of any sort, Nurse says, ?What, in War-time? Archie, cert?nly not! Life?s not very funny Now, for little boys, Haven?t any money. Can?t buy any toys. Mummie does the housework, Can?t get any maid, Gone to make munitions, `Cause they?re better paid, nurse is always busy, never time to play, sewing shirts for soldiers, nearly ev?ry day. Ev?ry body?s doing Something for the War, Girls are doing things, They?ve never done before. Go as `bus conductors, Drive a car or van, All the world is topsy-turvy Since the War began.
