Into town I went,
Slightly earlier than normal
And they were there,
Hundreds of them
Chatting, laughing, playing,
All going the same way.
There was a queue of them
Outside Greggs waiting,
Waiting to buy their breakfast?
They were all going my way
But where I turned left
They went straight on.
As an old codger
I was totally ignored,
As these kids
Wended their way,
Their way to school,
As I did so many years ago
