On December Nights in 1973

 

Our mum, she loved

Marks & Spencer.

 

She'd always say,

 

"Ohh.You can't beat 

them for quality.

For value!"

 

Every Christmastime:

 

            Our

            Talc, 

      Socks, Ties,

    Cologne, Pants, 

 Biscuits, Chocolates,

Tangerines, Fairy Lights,

      Nice Crackers,

           Cards, 

           Kisses.

    All under the tree.

 

She would place the cards on the mantelpiece.

They were for and from people we had never heard of.

 

Dear Terry and Julie

 

Merry Christmas!

 

From

 

Beryl Reid and Brian Clough

 

Yes. She loved Marks & Spencer.

 

She was a brilliant shoplifter,

our mum.

"Yes, Marks & Spencer" the only Christmas cards we get is from Clicks and a calender from Frank's Cafe. Both of us have given up smoking so it's not the little cigars either. Still some other text messages that's about it.

Wonder if peoples have forgatten us, may be?

Cheers! Sober always! Tom
