My Streets

Whose there for You?

No Longer their Fool!

Just an Existence in my Mind?

A feather in the Storm

My Streets


 

Remembering back to days of old

What good times we had back then

Play outs in the street knock down ginger

Life was so simple when

 Kids had nothing, all had the same

Old wooden bikes and trains

Long hot summers we had back then

Hardly ever rained

Long hot summers of lazy days

Toffee apple man with his bell

Calling the kids from all around

To show that all was well

Comics and albums read avidly

Hopscotch on the street

All in plimsolls no showy trainers then

Was worn out upon our feet

Once a year the charabang came

And off to the seaside we’d go

Bucket and spade playing in the sand

And Punch and Judy shows

These are memories of way back then

Just a time of childhood dreams

When things were simple and innocent

Or so the time did seem

Oh I wish for one more chance

To play with my marbles and rope

Skipping and jumping again and again

On cobblestone streets and slopes

Bomb sites were our playing fields

Where on the scaffolds we would swing

No danger did we see back then

And ditties we would sing

Have you seen the muffin man?

What’s the time Mr Wolf we would say?

One potato two maybe three or four

Were the songs we sang those days?

How times change?

And what a shame as then all were the same

Oh to have just one more day

Back on my childhood streets once again?
