Talking Pictures
The old flickering movies, black and white
Long forgotten shows come back to life
Distant past coming once more into sight
The laughter and tears, love and strife
Dixon of Dock Green says “Good Evening All”
Those were the days, bobbies on the beat
The days when the Met stood proud and tall
And got the villains - never say defeat
It’s Worzel Gummidge at Scatterbrook Farm
Aunt Sally, the Crowman, farmer and his wife
He swaps his heads over. Such rural charm
Although with Aunt Sally, always strife
Maigret lights a match, puffs of pipe smoke
Pondering the crime, murders in France
Was it poison, a gun? How did they croak
The detective is there with knowing glance
Talking Pictures on Television: great to see
Glimpses of a golden age for you and me
The old flickering movies, black and white
Long forgotten shows come back to life
Distant past coming once more into sight
The laughter and tears, love and strife
