DOES THE OLD TOWN LOOK THE SAME ~ AS WHEN YO LEFT ?
I could go back ~ I should go back
And given a chance I would go back
But WHY ? To see my friends of long ago
Meeting ~ Greeting People I no longer know
Some still alive ~ but some are gone
Not seeing others ~ who have just moved on !
The children that I played with
When I was only five
Would I recognise them now ?
Playing cricket ~ dustbin wicket ~ in my Granddad\'s drive
Or Jimmy\'s Farm where I once learned
Just how to milk a COW !
And what about AMANDA ~ The first Girl that I kissed
She cried when I was leaving ~ And would I still be missed ?
And what about my Grammar School
Where I was often gated
FORD factory where I worked each day
Whose cars were greatly overrated
The ColLege where I studied ~ to make me more efficient
The day I graduated and considered ~ self-sufficent !
The SUPERMARKETS ~ where I shopped
The CHURCHES ~ that I prayed in
The WOODS ~ where with my female friends
I very often strayed in !
Where are they now ? All married and with kids
Forbidden fruit ~ although stlll cute
My love life on the skids !
I could go back ~ I should go back
But having thought about ~ now I doubt it !
I don\'t think ~ I ever really ~ SHOULD GO BACK !
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love to ALL ~ BRIAN XOX
Did you ever go back to where you came from ~ did you regret it ?
