Secrets of an Introvert

Memories

The memories we make as a family are precious

Now that you're gone, they're all that I've got

We had some weird but wonderful times

The six of us doing things just on the spot

Back in 2000

When I was still just a kid

The Norfolk river life called us

And that towel went and slid

Right off the end and into the water

We had to try and fish it out

It wasn't an easy job

But we had a laugh no doubt

Crisp packets as eyeballs

Putting Monkey back in the wild

Losing my sunglasses in the water

One of the greatest times I had as a child

There was the Pot Noodle cupboard

Which we still reminisce about all over the place

Breaking my new pair of sunglasses

And sticking yellow dots to my brother's face

That day when we were stopped

From going back to our boat

Being asked for what sounded like a 'boot pass'

The one thing that we never fail to quote

My brother and I had the roles all sorted

He studied the map while I worked on my tan

It was a holiday to remember

And I will do for as long as I can

Then as I grew older

Our holidays in France began

We had some strange times there too

But it's always more fun if things don't go to plan

The highlight of our time back in 2006

Was trying out the little submarine in the pool

Which we quickly realised was a bad idea

When it sunk to the bottom, what a fool!

"Let's put in the just turned off oven"

Was the brilliant idea that came to my uncle's mind

It could dry out in there

We all thought it would be fine

Then when dinner started to cook

And the oven was on once more

We noticed a funny smell

And remembered what that reason was for

We all rushed to the kitchen

And opened it up

To find a small yellow blob

What had we done to poor little sub?

With that toy gone

We decided we had to improvise

So with a few bottles and some tape

Our own boat had been devised

We also sat and watched Team America

We just had to use some quotes from it
