Yesterday remembered
The milkman delivered the bottles
The coal man kept us warm Queuing to make a phone call Was once considered the norm We all had hand me down clothes We also had our Sunday best When Elvis shook his hips Not everyone was impressed Passed love letters in the classroom Played marbles on a drain If mum didn't have our pocket money We wouldn't dare complain We were told smoking was good for us So we thought we'd give it a try We coughed and choked and spluttered And we never questioned why We collected matchboxes and stamps Played penny up the wall Could play outside for hours If someone had a ball Wages still came in a packet Seemingly bursting at the seams A holiday in foreign lands Was simply the stuff of dreams Dad would be down the pub On the day he got his wages We'd never heard of google We simply had the yellow pages We took back the empty bottles For pieces of silver and gold We went to market and jumble sales For the bargains being sold We took pride in where we lived Those streets on which we grew Some may say its better now I'm not so sure that's true We kids had a sip of babycham Or sneaked a drop of dad's beer Looking back it seems so innocent Those glorious days of yesteryear Credit to Danny Fenn the boleyn poet ©
