Childhood memories |
I REMEMBER I remember, I remember, Silver paper on chocolate bars, Bus conductors with ticket machines, Starting handles on motor cars. I remember, I remember, Taking empty bottles back, Liberty bodices and cod liver oil, The gabardine and the pac-a-mac. I remember, I remember, Gas lamps on the street, Visits by the rent man, The bobby on the beat. I remember, I remember, The teacher with a cane, Seaside trips to Skeggy, Aboard a long steam train. I remember, I remember, Milk time at school, Torchy the battery boy, And Muffin the mule. I remember, I remember, Snobs and skimming cards, Sherbet dabs and lucky bags, Feet and inches and yards. I remember, I remember, Housewives Choice and What’s My Line, Aniseed balls and gob stoppers, Being in bed by nine. I remember, I remember, Meccano sets and dinky toys, Dandy, Beezer and Topper, Playing football with other boys. I remember, I remember, Sunny Stories and Playhour, Simple games we used to play, Like building a dominoes tower. I remember, I remember, Happy days now past, When I was young and carefree, What a shame they couldn’t last. |
