Our Vera
By Robert Kingston
I listened intently to all of
her songs
Along with the story
Along with the story
on how she was wronged
Our Vera had a rhyme scheme
Our Vera had a rhyme scheme
unique to herselfThis troubled the hierarchy
Restricting her wealth
She sang of the spitfire
And of all our brave kin
She sang of the white cliffs
Of how we'd meet again
She challenged authority
convinced of her worth
She hit back like the gods
Were rattling the earth
She raised up high above
Where only angels know-how
Supporting our brave soldiers
In their darkest hour
She broke all records
For her period of time
I'm so glad our Vera had courage
to stay with her rhyme
I'm so glad our Vera had courage
to stay with her rhyme
