Polished Off

Paluszki, Paluszki
they're polish not ruski,
our friend Richard brought them back
he's in the RAF, an important chap.

They didn't survive the journey well,
all crumbled and broken and as stale as hell.
Soft in texture, orange in taste,
enrobed in chocolate, they were eaten post haste.

Made by Krakuski, perhaps in Krakow [pronounced Krakoff],
It didn't take long to polish them off.

Biscuit: Paluszki

Garibaldi's last stand

Times were hard,

rations were thin,

soldiers were starving,
there was a war to win.

The cold was biting,

morale was low,

soldiers were starving,

progress was slow.

Italy was fractured,

General Garibaldi at a loss,

soldiers were starving,

there was a line to cross.

The General spoke out,
"Take this dough and mix it."

soldiers weren't starving,

they ate Garibaldi's biscuit.
