THANKSGIVING
Don’t know much about the turkey thing
Don’t know much Thanksgiving
Don’t know much about dollars + cents
Don’t know much about the Presidents
Don’t know much about Boston Tea
Don’t know much I’m from the old country
Don’t know much about Apple pie + cream
Don’t know much about The American Dream!
But I do know what love can do
And I know that if your dreams come true
What a wonderful world this would be.

ReplyDeleteJo, 'fraid so, It's a small world this global village - I probably even know someone you know!
Thirty-one visitors, thanks for visiting!
So which bit do you hail from? I was born in Hope Hospital, lived in Boothstown, then Eccles and then my parents jumped ship and went down South (well to the Midlands) when I was 16 (though I did end up going back there to uni).
ReplyDeleteBorn in south Manchester,
ReplyDeletebrought up in Sale - nothing exiting - moved south to Jersey then London, back north to Manchester (Didsbury Village)
then Salford (Pendleton)
and finally to Bohemian Moss Side.
Fun! This one made me smile.
ReplyDeleteAh, I lived in Didsbury when I was at uni, and spent many a night in Moss Side.
