Great stuff. Nico.
Do you suppose Tessa has a sentimental streak?
New Shoes
I had a pair of ten bob boots
When I was but a lad.
They were the finest pair of boots
That I had ever had.
I wore them every day to school
And polished them with dubbin
And every day this was the way,
The rubbing , rubbing, rubbing..
These days I buy designer shoes
Near every other week.
They never need a polish and
They never, never squeak.
But oh that pair of ten bob boots
They meant much more to me.
For we were poor and happy then
In 1953.
Come on all you Oldies. Is ten bob right for a kid's boots in 1953? They could be second hand.
