Christmas Nostalgia

Snow is on the ground Children are getting bored No television in those days Games you played aloud Snap that was a noisy one Snakes and ladders made u shout With either a groan or a yippee As the counter move about. Christmas is coming Five more weeks to go Time for making decorations To make the home aglow First some coloured paper Cut up into strips Next the ploy glue pot Hope the stuff will stick Lengths and lengths of linked paper Making the kitchen bright A load of dust collectors Said Mamgu (she was always right). Then some tree decorations Lovingly sew felt and string Into shapes of hearts Plus other simple things All this whilst sitting by the radio A play is being told Something ghostly and mysterious listening to the story unfoild When needing the toilet, you waited Cos the toilets werent indoors Paraffin heater for the pipes newspaper squares behind the door These are the days of memories stored faithfully within children will you remember when you had so much fun Written after a conversation with Shadow
