Freedom Came In Christmas '68

As well as celebrating Christmas time two days later every year is my birthday so that would mean double celebration leaving one wordless nothing to say One of the best gifts came aged 15, 1968 then I left school for good never to return this was great for school days I hated what joy I felt to leave full of the sun Even then in 1968, I left one day early this being my only time played truant did I especially as all leavers got a gift of shave kit the embarrassment made one want to die But school was now in the past employment into the future now next such relief no more awful school dinners eat Mum's lunch packs such a tasty blast So freedom arrived beside Christmas many lovely pressies which were only temp one day all these lovely things would end history would bring me a freedom friend (I have written this remembering Christmas memories aged 15 in 1968 when I left school and all that it meant.)
