Sunday morning breakfasts
From the father of the house
Family cat at the ready
To catch a straying mouse
Newspaper, fire lighters
Coal and roaring fires
Power cuts and candles
Politicians all pariahs
Comic books and Roy Race
Spangles and Radio 1
Muffins from the pie shop
Quick before they're gone!
Freezing mornings and icy windows
6 coats on the bed
Fewer cars and lots of buses
With fuel full of lead
Easter eggs with treats inside
Kind faces and generous hearts
Watching sport on the telly
Football, cricket and darts
Wacky Races, Scooby Doo
Morecambe & Wise, Starsky & Hutch
Magic Roundabout, Andy Pandy
A panda called Butch
Long hot summers and outdoor play
Grandma's shop and stew
Stanton Street and bubbling tar
Mojos and a penny chew
Best of all was Christmas Day
Unwrapping presents, an afternoon feast
Childhood happiness never surpassed
Precious memories never cease
