    Thumbs up Contentment

    I remember the cheese of my childhood,

    And the bread ye cut wi' a knife,

    When children all helped wi' the housework,

    And the men went to work ... NOT the wife
    !

    When the cheese never needed a fridge,

    And the bread was so crusty 'n' hot

    THEN ... ... kids were seldom unhappy

    And the missus content wi' her lot
    !

    I remember the milk frae the bottle,

    And its yummy cream on the top.

    When dinner came straight frae the oven,

    And NO' frae a freezer in t'shop.

    Aye, kids were a darn sight happier THEN

    They didnae need money for kicks;

    Just a game wi' their pals in t'street,

    And whilies ... the Saturday flicks.

    I remember the store on the corner,

    Whaur a pen'worth o' sweets were sold

    D'ye think I'm bein' too nostalgic?

    ... Or perhaps it's me gettin' old
    !

    Very good Arthur
    But then we are of the same vintage so appreciate older better values.

    Brilliant Arthur - you're a cross between Robert Burns and T.S. Eliot ( two volumes of his poems have just been published at £ 40 each )

    very good Arthur,

    those were the days when kids had imagination and were able to think for themselves,

    they also had respect
