INTRODUCTION TO LIFE PART FIVE

Years passed away quickly,
Sadly so did aunt's and uncles.
So did my mum and dad;
Wished they new me for me,
Then again they never did.

At least I wasn't on my own,
With two kids and a wife.
Strange as it seems,
Always felt I had a lonely life.

After council letter,
Didn't arrive one year.
It really was a strain,
When we had to start,
At the beginning again.

Suffering nosey neighbours one day.
We decided to introduce ourselves,
To the neighbours come what may.

Everyone my wife knew came calling,
Even the snob of the street came bawling.
In her loudest voice she indignantly said,
As all of our guests became quite as a mouse.

I want to speak to the man of the house,
"This hussey has had a milk float parked
Out front all-day, Explain that to your
husband if you can."
My wife took her by the hand and said.
"Let me introduce you to my husband,
Alan and in case you didn't know
He's the milkman."

We finally got our forever house,
With quite neighbours either side.
Sadly nothing lasts forever,
Eventually both our lovely neighbours
Died.
