#4 Questions for/from the parentals... the big postwar mystery innit. One of 'em, anyways.

What portion of what you were earning
Got shipped off to shit-pits for burning

Such intelligent people its belly haunt!
For a fork and a cork

It'll tell ya whatever the hell you want!

Meh. Another damned loin spoiled.
