In here, a Children's Home,
We all queue for our food.
The portions are only fit for a gnome,
We can't say, it'd be rude.
Years ago we were all fed gruel,
Now Cook cannot be so cruel.
But they'd prefer for us to be fed
On a diet of water and bread.
The meals here are often nice,
It'd just be better if they were less lean.
I'd love to taste curry and rice,
To have Indian and Chinese is but a dream.
