Buns For The Huns

I see it coming — the Fund to feed the Huns:
We shall go short of bread to give them buns.
No, thank you, boys. We cannot do too much
For French or Dane, the Belgians or the Dutch:
But did we store the honey in our hive
To keep the killing Herrenvolk alive?
And did our sailors brave the U-boats then
To fill a larder for the S.S. men?
To all such questions —I've a guess to give—
The answer is in the affirmative.
