I REMEMBER The TREE where I used to swing
Ganpa's records by Mister Bing
On a wonderful ~ wind-up ~ wire-less thing
In the Cottage by the SEA !
I REMEMBER My KITE that reached the skies
The seagulls with their plaintive cries
The taste of Ganma's apple pies
In the Cottage by the SEA !
I REMEMBER a GIRL ~ whose name was CHRIS
Who always tasted of liquorice
The abandoned Boat where we used to KISS
In the Cottage by the SEA !
I REMEMBER The Church with its musty smell
And the boring bong of its broken Bell
The Preachers who always warned of HELL
In the Cottage by the SEA !
I hope that you've enjoyed my STORY
Grandparents who always voted TORY
To earn their place with GOD in GLORY
And a Cottage by the celestial SEA !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

The poems that write themselves, just flow from our fingertips on the keyboard, always turn out to be the best poems.
