Nostalgia

Nostalgia they say, is a thing of the past

They don’t make them like that

If they do they don’t last

They used to be bolder, bigger and longer

Harder and tougher and better and stronger

They would cost half as much

And be larger they say

You could buy twice as much

With half as much pay

Now when I was just a kid,

A long time ago

I’d wake up in the morning

Streets covered in snow

With stale bread for breakfast

And dripping for tea

Sure, times were tough

But it never hurt me

Now the food doesn’t taste

The way that it should

It costs us much more

But the taste’s not as good

Would I go back to that time long ago?

There’s only one answer

It would have to be no!
