Tiffins at Lunch

At a time, that feels so long ago,

Me and my friends sat together you know

We opened our tiffins in unison, we did,

Our cheeky little hands lifted the lids.

Nuts and fruits and biscuits, oh yum!

Snacks, and crackers and cheese for our tums,

Potato wafers that let out a crunch

All of it inside our tiffins at lunch,

Talking and playing,

And giggling and saying

As we munched on our feast,

It was quite a treat

The table was full of chatter and joy,

And yes, we had a hell of a time

All fun and no work, on our turf

That was the time of tiffins at lunch

Of course, on today, all we can do,

Is think back upon those lunches, of brew

Of fun and of talk, Of Joy and of Toss

And feel as if there’s a lot that we’ve lost

But one day in the future, oh one glorious day

When the time rises for fun and play

When schools shall open, and in we’ll rush

Once more, there’ll be tiffins at lunch…
