The Day We Went To Hucknall

v THE DAY WE WENT TO HUCKNALL The day we went to Hucknall, didn’t we have a lovely time. So much so, I thought I would turn it into a rhyme. The two of us. On the bus. Then on the tram Then through the rain we ran. To get our lunch at the pilgrim oak. Just me and the old bloke. Him with his platefull of fish, chips, and peas. Me with my low fat spaghetti bolognese. It only cost £6 50p for the lot. It was even served piping hot. Then round the charity shops we went. To look for bargains, money well spent. I got two brand new pairs of trousers for me. each of them costing only 50p. Now it is starting to get dark. We must find our way back to the tram park The tram takes us back to the market square. We run to catch the number 10 bus, its ready to go, don’t you dare. On the bus home it dawned on me. We still had change from a tenner to get our tea. A whole day out, including, lunch, new clothes, the bus, the tram. Total spend £7 50p now the bus and tram. Are free for me and the old man.
