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…
