Drowsy Maggies!

 Drowsy Maggies!

Another one that goes back to the London of 1970 and the back streets off Kilburn High Road. Will add the text over the weekend. Enjoy.

Drowsy Maggies

An accordion dragged out somewheres,

Quex Road Sundays,

Backs to the wall

Talking of the summertime,

Going home.

And the drift to Mass,

The nod.

There were rumours

Of a start somewhere.

Casuals; observations

Of the scraps of a match,

The laments for the crossing.

The red pillar post box,

Imperial signs

Hanging off the overheads.

Approved bed and board,

Crooked Jacks,

Going home

And the fleadh.

Through an open doorway

Drowsy Maggies

Drowning out

Three Dog Night -

"Mama told me not to come"
