Fish fingers and beans
will always mean to me
Dinner at my Nan's
when I was still a young lass

My mum would see us off
out the door
and over the road
to the place that was
my Nan's

She would take me back
to World War Two
telling me stories
of people she knew

some were really exciting

some were really quite scary

some were really unimaginably tragic

Some were hypnotizing
But

most of all she told me how
she met my Grandad
a handsome man
with sparkling eyes
who told stories of people
he knew

Fish fingers and beans
will always mean to me

Dinner at my Nan's.
