Daddy-long-legs They called him Daddy-Long-Legs A long time ago Just skin and bones Where flesh should grow A long time ago A diet of bread and dripping Or fatty breast of lamb The kids of Britain lived on this Throughout this war torn land Clothing came from scarecrows So the story goes. His shoes were full of gapping holes And cardboard kept them dry But not the cold from winters snow When ice did melt inside They called him Daddy-Long-Legs His limbs were built to run Away from bombs and poison gas His nightmares and the Hun Skinny little matchstick boy His ribs were plain to see. I know this little skinny kid. That little waif was me. Peter (Bones) Wicks
