In the Days of Old

In those olden days People was happier you’d say For times for us were tough And living life was rough But we did not need that much Not the latest thing and such We would go out and leave the locks off And gave each other a wave and not a scoff It was best said by the four Yorkshire men Who said “times were tough back then” “And you know we were poor” “But we were happy then because we were poor” Just sitting around “drinking Chateau du Chasseur” “On the Costa du Sol” “And you try to tell the kids of today that and they don’t believe you.” © Paul Warren Poetry
