Well that took me back,
Back to my youth.
The central heating has stopped,
Needed repairing.
So I came rushing down stairs
First thing in the morning
And put the gas oven on,
To warm the kitchen,
Then lit the fire in the lounge
To try and get warmth in the house,
On this freezing cold day.
This is what we did back in time,
When we had no central heating.
It was so cold in the house
That steam came from our mouths,
There was ice on the windows,
On the INSIDE!
Those were the days,
The days so long ago,
But I survived,
As did so many.
We do have easy lives nowadays.
