Lend me a quid

Dad can I have this old tin box to put my marbles in?

I don't think you need it now I found it near our bin

It was near some other stuff a belt and some funny pads

A plastic helmet was also there with a lamp clasp amongst the rags

It must have meant a lot to you 'cos I know you've had it years

I will look after it dad but tell me why the tears

DON'T ASK
