Once Upon a Time Growing Up

Looking back now on my adolescence so many years ago much has now past many struggles came across my path but in time the dye was cast Living in the sixties as I did the music scene affected me loving the Beatles and all Mersey so dynamic lyrically made one free My love for reading started then loving Roy of the Rovers hit the net being a Scot 'Oor Wullie' and 'The Broons' were my regular diet for fun to have met! Soccer was indeed my fab game looked every week to see a match ten shillings was my pocket money so it paid for all my Saturday catch Memories indeed were so full of these days in my exuberant youth love for the first time named Ruth such a lovely shape she blew me away Once upon a time growing up loved these days more than did hate despite difficulty trying to speak a word learned to let it all be left to fate (This is written looking back on my childhood showing things like music, reading, money, and love how they affected me these days. Being Scottish I better explain some words. 'Roy of the Rovers' was a soccer cartoon magazine. 'Oor Wullie' and 'The Broons' were Scottish characters cartoon published in a Sunday newspaper. 'Ten Shillings was worth what 50 pence/ 1 dollar is now.)
