Lacy Gasmantles, ciggy Card games
Outside Lavies, Teasing old Dames
Skipping Ropes and Games of Tig
Codliver Oil and Syrups of Fig
Sherbet Dabs and Daisy Chains
Air Raid Shelters Steaming Trains
Fishing with a string and pin
Games that made an awful din
Pitchballs made in streets so hot
Emptying Grandads Chamberpots
Blacking grates and stoning yard
Fighting lads that called us mard
Coal brought round by horse and cart
Milk in Churns sold by the quart
Blue bags of sugar, Grey bags of bikkies
Whip and Top and Lollipop Lickies
Butter from Dairies shaped with a paddle
Riding a carthorse without any saddle
Dressing for Whitwalks holding a banner
Making a peg rug for two and a tanner
Sitting in Tin bath in front of the fire
Playing wag off school, Kissing John Squire
Visiting Pawnshop with Grandad's medals
Riding an old bike without proper pedals
Great Memories that never end
Talk yours over with a friend
You'll find your boredom goes away
As you relive a by gone day.
