Tony's Dad
About 18 years ago (1996) I had poem in the paper, then I had a letter from a man to say I hadn't mentioned his dad. Today I found the poem that I sent back and thought I'd tell you.......small world
Dear Tony I feel really sad
I didn't mention your dear old dad
For a machine shop I mentioned Lee's
And this my line did "filler "
And as I carried on down the road
I missed dear ALEC MILLER
An hard working man, with a family of four
Tony, Pat, Jackie, and Frank
Your dear dad would often smile or wave
When folks stood at the 40 bus rank
Those were the days, shops scored 10 out of 10.
And your dear old dad was one of them
He didn't get a mention
But in my memory I find
That as soon as I'd read your letter
MILLER'S Shop was in my mind.
..........................................................cheers Tony.
