A lovely lie in; then, with no breakfast,
Off out to collect Josie, taking her
To Pizza Hut with Pearl. Today’s the last
Time I’ll see Pearl in the old house. Yes. They’re
Selling it later on this month. That’s where
I bought my first house, but left, three years on
In ’96, leaving wife and kids there
In Burnage; a bedsit in Withington
Was my only lonely destination.
But though our family split, we parents cast
Our differences aside; tried to be fair
To the kids. And then, again, later on,
A split with Josie’s mum. But not downcast:
These kids are great fun to be with, oh yeah!
