0Hi ,do you remember me?
we last met say?’63?
I think it’s time to apologize,
I broke your heart,but didn’t realize.
the day it all happened,the sun was hot,
you where eager to show me your brand new robot,
is it your birthday?you nodded as I asked,
you said that your pockets where filled will cash.
then you followed me,everywhere.
turned around,but you was still there.
Seemed like you had something important to say?
didn’t have time for it,so I ran away!hid around the corner,you found me out,
breathless you said”stop messing about!”
“will you be my girlfriend?I’ll give you a shilling?”
Mmmm…that thought made me a little more willing.
so hand in hand we walked to the shop,
bought heaps of chocolate and ate the whole lot.
sat on a wall ,you looked pleased with your catch.
we chatted about,Dr Who,and the footy match.
then you lent over to plant a big wet kiss,
before you made contact,I planted you with my fist!
ran back home,slipped in the back door,
I guessed we were’nt a couple anymore?
so,Graham I’m sorry,I know it made you sad,
I hope no one else hits you,you’re not a bad lad.
probably you cursed me,and thought I was cheap?
yes,and your cash would have ran out by the end of the week.
well,this is the end of my” apology letter”
may see you again someday,and I hope your lip’s better?
