Them Times
I remember them days
When the bunting was hung.
From lampost to gate post
Was the thing to be done
Mis-matched tables
All together in a row.
Covered in tablecloths
Union jacks on show
All of the neighbors
Making sandwiches and treats.
I remember being so eager
To get my seat.
Then all of us would smile,
For there was so much food
We would be here for a while.
After we had eaten all that we can,
That's when the real fun and games began.
Mothers and fathers
All tied at the knee.
Racing each other was so funny to see.
We would race,
But stood in a sack.
I don't think I ever made it there and back.
The fun would continue
Right into the night.
With fun and laughter
And not one single fight.
I miss them times,
I want them back,
With my table full of food
And my union jack.
