Are you a Child of the Seventies?
Take a look at this nostalgic poem to see if any of these activities ring a bell
A Child of The Seventies
Sherbet dib dabs, platforms, flares
Name That Tune, Celebrity Squares
Doing handstands against the wall
Pop to the phone box to make a call
Friday at five, its Crackerjack!
Knock next door for my shuttlecock back
Startrite sandals and ankle socks
Measles, Mumps, and Chickenpox
Taping songs from Radio One
No tea until your homework’s done
Fell off your bike and grazed your knee?
Sorted with a plaster and a cup of tea
Alphabetti spaghetti and fizzy chews
Feet measured to get new shoes
Space hoppers and roller skates
Go to the youth club with your mates
Charlies Angels. Bionic man
Running to catch the ice cream van
A child of ‘The Seventies’ and I’m not bitter
Before emails, Facebook and Twitter
No trolls shouting in upper case
Arguments sorted face to face
Conversation at the dinner table
Wearing trainers without a label
The hand of technology is extending
So I’ll go to see what’s trending
I’ll sit on the couch to do my shopping
send a tweet and some Facebook hopping
but what is most important to me
are friendship, kindness, and family.
