NOSTALGIA AINT WHAT IT USED TO BE

You had to switch the telly on
For at least ten minutes or so
In order that the set warmed up
In time for your favorite show
On Sunday after traditional lunch
We then sat down as a family
After the washing up was done
To watch the Sunday matinee
We only had three channels
Not the ninety-nine like today
Though we didn’t have choice
The quality was better I’d say
We didn’t have TV all day long
Or programs round the clock
They ran from watch with mum
Till bedtime at eleven o’clock
