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
