The P.O.W. Lament  (Q.M Store)

We are P.O.Ws pouring out our woes

on a dreadful diet, this is how it goes -

There is rice, rice, mouldy rotten rice

nothing more, nothing more

There are eggs, eggs, growing little eggs

Lets leave them on their xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

                                         

They are so dense, they cannot see }

This is not enough for you or me       }

And we are still so dammed hundry  }

                                         

There is spinach, spinach, how the grubs thrive in it

nothing more, nothing more

There are spuds, spuds, most of them are duds

Let's heave them at their xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

                                    

There is pork, a skinny bit of pork

nothing more, nothing more

There is Yak, Yak, Yak, you comment back

Let's heave this tough stuff back

                                         

There are leaks, leaks oh my how they reek

nothing more, nothing more

There is cabbage, cabbage, rescued from the gabbage

Only good enough for xxxxxxxxxxx

                                         

They are so dense they do not know

How tired of this we all do grow

and we all want to go straight home
