I've just been watching video footage
Me and my first wife shot in 87
On old-style tape, for this digital age
Resurrected, now in DVD heaven
Film of the now sadly-missed sunken garden
At Piccadilly, the old Marks and Sparks
And a long bus ride into the past, driven
Past what were southern Manchester's landmarks
We filmed those ducks and goats now gone from parks
No longer safe from stupid youthful rage
Acting the fool in Liverpool, and given
Fine summer sunshine for our youthful larks
Now halfway through my book, that early page
Reread reveals so much that I'd forgotten
