Summers were hot 
music quite funky
Mini skirts short 
legs were quite chunky 🤣
Sometimes fashion 
did us no favours 
Mary Quant and twiggy
all over the papers

When winter arrived 
Only one room had heat
single glazed windows
itchy chilblained feet
Your bed was so cold 
it almost felt damp
You’re so tensed up 
your legs went into cramp😩


Perms looking like tumbleweed 
on a windy day
Green peace and protesters
out to play
The Beatles the Who 
and the Rolling Stones
No Harry Potter or game of thrones

Morris Marina, Cortina estate
Girls names Brenda, 
Shirley and Kate
Milk bottle tokens
Green Shield stamps
Going for tea at yer nan and gramps
Carefree days - The famous five
These were the things that made us thrive

Yes, it was hard, 
we never knew any different 
didn't  know the future, 
so there was no equivalent 
It was good time’s though, 
in spite of some things
‘The good old days’
what will the future bring?
