No Breakfast Today
No breakfast today no milk and no bread another day starting and I'm filled with dread.
First light the fire then tidy the house don't make a noise be quite as a mouse.
Don't wake my parents as I'm no fool get out of the house and walk straight to school.
With clothes that are scruffy I walk the wet streets and holes in my shoes no socks and wet feet.
Then home again at the end if the day to a tea of leftovers that weren't thrown away.
So still hungry I'm sent to my bed to sleep until tomorrow and a day full of dread.
