DO YOU REMEMBER

DO YOU REMEMBER

D
O YOU REMEMBER WHEN LETTERS TO YOUR FATHER CAME ADDRESSED TO
ESQUIRE
AND JACK FROST VISITED THE INSIDE OF YOUR BEDROOM WINDOW IN
WINTER
IN THE EVENING THERE WOULD BE NO CORONATION STREET WE WOULD ALL WATCH
THE DANCING FLAMES IN THE BACK OF THE COAL FIRE
WHEN GLUE WASN'T EPOPXY BUT FLOUR AND WATER
WHEN MILK CAME IN THE CHURN ON A TRAP PULLED BY A PONY
COAL ON A TRUCK PULLED BY A CARTHORSE
THE LITTLE WIDOW LADY WHO LIVED AT THE CORNER LOOKED A BIT DOWDY
THE WASTE OF A FEW GRAINS OF SUGAR WOULD FILL US WITH REMORSE
THE CARPET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR WITH LINO ALL ROUND THE
OUTSIDE
WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED FROM TIME TO TIME
YOUR BICYCLE LAMP MIGHT BE FULL OF CARBIDE
AND MUM'S KNITTING WAS HER PASTIME
WHEN AUNTS AND UNCLES CAME FOR SUNDAY TEA
THEN YOU'R MUCH OLDER THAN ME
