Where's Queen?

1977

Queen popping round

Jubly  

"It's Jubilee, Son"

Jooobly!

6 years old

Street party

The like I'd never seen

Flags

Bunting

Dried up sandwiches 

with curled up edges

Homemade Cake!

Homemade Pies! 

Trifle!

Rhubarb with sugar dip

Penny chews & lollies 

& pear drops & sherdet 

"It's sher -Bet"

Sher-DET!

Where's Queen?

"Missed the bus"

Mmmm jelly

In my belly

Naughty beer!

Flares 

Big hairs!

Aunties laughing

Neighbours dancing

Uncles singing…

Ears ringing

Slurring Dads

Wobbly Mams

Sloppy kisses

Hugs galore!

 

From those here no more 

 

Lucky dips

Lemonade pop

Rum punch

Ooooh rum punch!

Taste like pop

Just have a bit more

Wobbly floor…

Just a bit more

Fobbly woor 

Hust a lit door

Gobbly for

Cust adit blor

"What you drinking!?"

plop  plop

"Aw, bloody hell"

Plip, plop, plippy plop

"Eeee is 'e drunk?"

Hares sQueeen?

"Bed!"

"Come on!"

Sick, sick

"Don't you da…"

 

End of Jooobly for me!

Stephen,
this poem trips along almost as a sing song which brings to life the theme of celebration. I too remember street parties with lurid memories of jellies and the dreaded blancmange. A treat nonethe less during a time of ratioing. I am of course referring to the Coronation of 1953 when I was five years old.
Thank you for this
Keith
