THAT LOVELY SUMMERS DAY

One summers day , I desidid to leave my house,

Step out side , leaving my bills and debts behind,

I ignored the letters with '' Sir according to our

Records blah, blah,

I opened , clost the front dore , put on a smile ,

Took a deep breath , opened my eyes wide , taking in the lovely day ,

Walk a cross the road made down Dumpton lane ,

Made my way in to town ,

Past a mum her baby in it's pram , baby gurgling

Happily , we exchanged smile's '' it's a lovely day'',

We agreed , it was a lovely day,

Man with dog , I stopped , crouched down , stroked ,

Petted , the dog , it could of been a bitch , I did not check,

Well you don't do you ,

We agreed it was a lovely day , I got up wished them both

A good day,

As walked on meting people exchanging smiles ,

We all agreed it was a lovely day ,

Thro the ally I went , nice and cool , tree branches made it so ,

down to to St.Luke's avenue I reached , King street ,

Seeing people of all ages , all agreed it was a lovely day ,

Then I was looking in to York street , I saw Mack , sat on a bench ,

He was so thin , not seen him in a while ,

I walked across to big Mack , as he was called by all who know him ,

'' you on a dirt , Mack? '' I said with a smile,

''Na'' ,'' I've got asbestosis aint I'' ,'' I'm dyeing'',

That summers day , that lovely day , tears came to my eye's
