A look back in verse at the way we were.
Sing me a song of me old ways;
tell me a tale of the past.
Of the time when England was mighty
and everyone thought it would last.
When men raised their hats to the ladies
An original Christmas Story
Wow, this Christmas stuff is really neat. I’ve been watching my family scurry around for weeks, just to get ready for this one, beautiful, magical morning. I’ve never seen anything like this before, and even though Mum and Dad try to explain it all to me and have told me wonderful Christmas stories, I’m not sure I understand it.

The Nativity Scene
I stand and look at the stable scene now, wondering if the figures look how
They did, those many years ago, the little child in manger low,
Another of Les Lawrence’s tongue in cheek dissertations!
I was talking to someone recently and he ask me why I now go to Chapel every Sunday. Was I a born again Christian? I had to explain to him that it had very little to do with Religion which he couldn’t understand. I went on to explain that, in my view, people such as myself who frequently go into pubs and clubs are not drawn into such places just because of the alcohol. After all, you can buy all of that you want from the Supermarket and it’s cheaper. So other factors are at work. I learnt many years ago that selling insurance had very little to do with selling insurance; again other factors came into play.
