THIS PICTURE TELLS A STORY

"THIS PICTURE TELLS A STORY" (author unknown)

This picture tells a story

of days so long ago

I was just a youth then

and I still had time to grow

This picture tells a story

See that brick built toilet block

Bloody cold in winter time

with ice on seat to shock

This picture tells a story

look up and see chimney stack

not one house has an aerial

It’s 1960-looking back

This picture tells a story

the steps-they are so clean

all of them donkey stoned

the best I've ever seen

This picture tells a story

little girl playing out in street

chaperones not required then

kids today can’t have this treat

This picture tells a story

See cobbles-look hard and stare

won’t see many of those today

they are so very rare

This picture tells a story

See no litter-strewn around

before fast food takeaways

no Cans thrown on the ground

This picture tells a story

my street is no longer there

flattened for road improvements

Planners simply didn’t care

This picture told you a story

of a time good men took a wife

an era of just make and mend

Then technology governed our life
