the hungry wait and see

a hungry child is a joy to see

especially just before a nutritious lunch or tea

we don't want them eating! they must heed me

there'll be time enough to feed them, wait and see

a hungry child is an ironic sight to see

especially just before they're forced to shoot or flee

we don't want them eating! they must heed me

there'll be time enough to feed them, wait and see

a hungry child is a blessing to have fed

the rations may have reached him before he was dead

we don't want them eating! they must heed me

there'll be time enough to feed them, wait and see
