Golden Tale of Yesteryears

Golden days of old when times were hard, Yet, families did things together. a ghostly story on the radio to make you scared. Or maybe if you had a piano a sing song was heard, No television in those days Families talked, today that sounds absurd Golden days were tinged with sadness When a person dies much too young. Medicine wasn't at its height the young children weren't strong. Food was not a plenty yet was organic, as you see no money to buy pesticides, so pure fruit and veg for tea. Card games were the norm Whist and rummy comes to mind. Snap for the children to play. Match sticks for money was used you will find. No fruit drinks for the children on this day tap water was what they will have Adams ale was what it was called sounded better to the naive. A bottle of beer for father, Mam had a cup of tea. Gran lived with us also So was a happy family life for me. As you grow up you remember the best thing in life were free. Those happy days were not full of strife Just wish your family are as happy As in the golden days of your life.
