The kids are screaming from the rooftops,
pop's going around the bend,
mum's in the kitchen with sherry
who appears to be an old family friend.

two brothers are sat playing Ludo
two others watch but haven't a clue
though
the game seems simple enough,
sister's looking older, dressed up as the
chocolate soldier,

to me,
it all looks a bit, Straus,

my childhood in our house.
