Most of you have probably seen this poem many times but it always brings a smile to my face along with so many memories of times 'back then'. I found it on Facebook during the week so thought "why not share it?"
I haven't seen that poem before. Much of what it contains is familiar, but I suspect(know) that there was a lot hidden and not talked about as well. No time is perfect.
I read it out to Phil and then copied it so he could take it to his poetry group where it was appreciated. Can you photocopy things on here I wonder? Probably not as that would be an invasion of privacy I would think.
I remember most of that. I don't recall any slaps, though.
ReplyDeleteMe too although I was never slapped thank goodness. Did receive a couple of good hidings (with mum's hand) which I truly deserved.

ReplyDeleteBack then there were definitely things not spoken of.
DeleteThere were good times there were bad times for everybody.
Sometimes I think the old ways were better!
ReplyDeleteMe too but then we wouldn't have the wonderful medical knowledge that helps keep us alive as we do now.
DeleteCan't have everything.
I have never heard that poem before, but I like it a lot. Life certainly seemed easier and more fun back then. I'm going to copy this down.
