The past and my past is a part of history. |
Do you recall your school days, And do you remember when there were no such things as biro's Just inkwells and a pen instead? Our vegetables and meat were fresh, We had no frozen food and we didn't make a casserole, Our meat was just plain stewed. We didn't sit and watch T.V. the wireless was the tops and there were no supermarkets, Just friendly grocery shops. Remember when we played a tune, And understood each word and movies were romantic, And sex was just inferred? Girls wore pretty dresses, Suits were worn by men and kids were kids till they grew up, There were no teenagers then Fuel stove in the kitchen, Nothing cooks the same and even an ice chest in the corner, With a hope the ice man came! There wasn't any take-aways, There was only chips and fish and do you recall when one and six Bought all that you could wish? Ah remember Christmas puddings, With a threepence for each kid, there were halfpennies and guineas And a pound note was a quid. We did our weekly washing, With a copper and a wringer and Clark Gable was our heart throb And Bing our favourite singer. I sometimes with those times were back, And though they bought me pleasure and now as l walk down memory lane, l think I'll just enjoy today and my memories I'll treasure. |
