Music To Clean By.

Goldfinch60



Back in the day I went to the pub

And had a few pints,

Drinking with friends,

Listening to music,

And singing the songs.

 

I now find my self

Still singing those songs,

And listening to that music,

But no longer down the pub.

I know I must be getting old,

As now I am cleaning the house

To that music,

That music I used to drink to.

            Some days the nostalgia is a curse, others it is a blessing. Beautiful poem, love.

              Nostalgia in my life is always wonderful Joan, I must be a very lucky man.

              A likely story, Andy. Wot about ‘Roll out the Barrel’ and ‘Why, Why Delilah’….. Not to mention ‘My old Man Said Follow the Van’ and ‘Any Old Iron’?
