I passed by my old school one day last year,
images floated by, saw some mums and dads,
a smile on my face, in my eye a tear,
those childhood days what a time we have had!
those Good old days- we were so glad!
His Master’s Voice Radio on a shelf,
only source of entertainment we had,
a brother, three sisters parents and self,
listening to top hits, was then a fad!
those Good old days- we were so glad!
no television to keep us for hours,
evening was for reading tutored by dad,
by nine were sleepy right under covers,
I was looked after as was youngest lad!
those Good old days- we were so glad!
toothpaste we chose by its nice taste and smell,
proud of our toothbrush like it was iPad,
was irrelevant if it cleaned teeth well,
we brushed teeth so mother wouldn’t be mad!
those Good old days- we were so glad!
beginning of school was most joyous day,
although end of holidays made us sad,
we had new clothes, new shoes, new friends to play,
in just one week we knew good friends from bad,
those Good old days- we were so glad!
