Belfast Afternoons

By Paul McCann

 

Diamond buns and hay-stacks .
Coconut macaroons.
Baps and scones and currant squares.
Belfast afternoons.
Beano books and Sparkys,
annuals and cartoons.
Wee Dandy books and Toppers
and Belfast afternoons.
Toy windmills on birthdays
and blown up balloons.
Blowing bubbles,flying kites .
Belfast afternoons .
Snowball fights and conkers,
sucking and singing tunes .
But bonkers we're not
thanks to Belfast afternoons .
