Romantic?
Dressed & pressed & living at home at the time
When I met my one & only Valentine
We were young , fit, and in our prime back in 65
Twisting to Chubby Checker, with the occasional jive
At the Club Double Diamond she came on in through the door,
Just able to see her through the smelly thick smoke,now covering the dance floor
This vision of loveliness and her good looking best mate
Wow, I said out loud & dived straight in & asked for a date
Don’t be daft ‘I’m not like that ‘ said she
Neither am I usually said little old shy boy me
Would you like some crisps or perhaps a drink?
‘Snowball please’ without even a blink
Her mate and mine went off to do their own thing
Whilst we sat down to hear our Tom sing
Yes, it was ‘not unusual’ way back in 65
For him to still perform locally & live
After that it became a fairly regular thing
Dating, not listening to our Tom sing
Then in October of 68, we tied that marital knot
And names went down for a council housing spot.
It’s ‘s been a long eventful journey since that Double D day
Having two kids , 4 grand kids and acquiring a dog along the way
And yup, she’s still my only Valentine , Mrs. seven zero zero
and for putting up with me for all this time – she is also my hero?
