Each day in Hardshaw centre

View the diurnal sights

All sitting round the table

Like King Arthur and his knights.

 

A pair of nonagenarians

Are sat on Arthur’s throne

Surrounded by their harem

Rarely sat alone.

 

Albert comes from Sutton

Harry from South Wales

Enthralling all around them

With their far and distant tales.

 

Discussing all Saints matches

Dissecting every try

Seeking further comments

From others passing by.

 

Their daily reminiscing

Of times and folks long gone

When the town had full employment

And Pilks were Number One.

 

Not all is in the past

Each day is not the same

Times spent looking to the future

And discussing Saints next game

 

The group break up each morning

Prompt at half past ten

Just wait until tomorrow

When they do it all again.
