When my Dad in forty one Had reached the age of. Jesus, He threw incendiaries out the house When firemen came to save us. He coughed, and struggled to stop the flames, His bony fingers frozen, Those shiny, foot long, cylinders, Rained down in heaps of dozen. The gate and fence were scorched to black, The men worked feverish, urgent. I slept all night in warmth and damp With nervous dog that God sent. But Dad he never overcame The rigours of that night, And died expecting orange juice One Saturday summer bright. I was a lonely little boy And held Mums hand to home, She was blind and dumb with grief. We both were all alone. |
