War

There was a boy called James
Who lost everything in the war
It was a sad time for the family
Especially because they were poor

One day their life changed for the better
A man approached them wanting to help
They were given quite a bit of cash indeed
The mother couldn't help it but yelp

They could do a lot with the money
So they decided to build a new house
The parents were happy with their efforts
And James thought the house was grouse

They went to the Australian Open
To watch their hero Pat Rafter
They had a great time at the tennis
And lived happily ever after
