CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

I first read this little ditty when I was at school, and it still sits with me in a far flung corner of my brain and is apt to the topsy turvy world we live in. It goes as follows:

Twas in the month of Liverpool

In the city of July

The rain was shining hazily

The Streets were very dry

The flowers were singing cherrfully

The Birds were in full bloom

I went down the cellar

To sweep the upstairs room!
