My hands were busy through the day,

I didn?t have much time to play

The little games you asked me to.

I didn?t have much time to do


I?d wash your clothes and sew and cook

And when you brought your picture book

And ask me please to share your fun,

I?d say: ?A little later, son.?


I?d tuck you in all safe at night

And hear your prayers, turn out the light,

Then tiptoe softly to the door?

I wish I?d stayed a minute more.


For life is short, the years rush past?

A little boy grows up so fast.

No longer is he at your side,

His precious secrets to confide.


The picture books are put away,

There are no longer games to play,

No good-night kiss, no prayers to hear?

That all belongs to yesteryear.


My hands, once busy, now are still.

The days are long and hard to fill,

I wish I could go back and do

The little things you asked me to

    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
