Listening to Johnnie Taylor

Taking me back down that old

Memory lane..

Singing “I believe in you”

School days ring out loud &

Clear..

The old barn becomes a hall
Social place where every weekend
The town folk go for a ball.

It’s a fine summer’s evening
for your annual wine tasting shindig;
home-grown fruits in home-made fermentations.
We stay up half the night
washing down the terrible wine with weak beer
