Minkymonks are funny things
I thought you'd like to know
They're neither young nor old
But never seem to growth

Standing proud in a garden
Along the north road sands
We passed them on a Sunday
On our way to Grans


Bright coloured creatures
Beside the trees so tall
In amongst the flowers
Then half way up the wall

Occasionally changed
Making way for new
Creating excitement
Coming into view


Dragon,horse,leprechaun,
Comic caricatures bright
We passed in the morning
Then back again at night


Sitting quietly in father's car
In Grans the front room to
No television or computer games
We knew just what to do

Sometimes playing in the garden
Or drawing thing we had seen
Simple childhood pleasures
Those happy days have been.
