[hometext] => Meet the people in the neighbourhood of Dearum Avenue
[bodytext] => A noise awakens my sleep So I look down along the road The postman delivers his letters from his bag Kids playing ball, can't be more than ten years-old I buy the morning paper from the shop And a pint of milk I get too I say ' Hello' to the couple just moved here, with their newborn child 'Welcome to Dearum Avenue' Two doors along from me A woman has lived there for years Never been married, never had kids Spends all her day drinking bottles of beer The guy opposite me works all the night He never seems at home A family of ten, they live on the dole Yet just last month they holidayed in Rome The old man living next door He's struggling to see I help him out and cook his meals And in return I get a cup of tea So I'm strolling along the same old street Giving a wave to the bobby on the beat Having a chat with anyone I meet That's what I do Down Dearum Avenue [comments] => 1 [counter] => 142 [topic] => 31 [informant] => chrisdavid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
