As I was awaking in the mornings beauty,
A thought came into my mind
Of a time long ago,
A time of such delight and happiness.
Each evening I would go up ‘the pub’,
There I would meet good friends,
We would chat and laugh,
Drink our pints,
Play darts and cards,
An evening full of fun.
But then occasionally on a Saturday night
The ‘singing beer’ would be served,
And Don would start it off,
His magnificent voice filling the bar.
We would all join in and sing our hearts out,
Singing all evening,
Drinking good beer
With the wonderful friends around me.
Such wonderful times of my younger days,
But not lost,
As they are saved in my memories
For me to bring back into my mind
And remember those wonderful times.

Ah those heady younger days when life seemed so full of fun and promise and we made our own entertainment for free. A time made even more special if like yourself we had good friends to share it with. Beautiful words my friend. ☺🍻
They were so special now I look back at them. Thank you wh, much appreciated.

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Those were the days my friend - - and they never end in the memories they left - - a night with good friends brought its own tonic. A lovely read Andy and a very good number by Tom
Those certainly were the days my friend, such easy and wonderful times, lovingly remembered.
Thank you Fay.

Like medals on our chest, our memories as we age are the reward for a life 'lived'...... a possession we can reach out and grasp, hold dearly and know, it is something which makes us who we are.
So very true d a, thank you.

What's this? No singing from Orchi? You gave him the perfect opportunity to jump in and muck it up. He must not be well, but then, I guess we all knew that. 😉 Great write of yesterday fun Andy.
