And he has not been to his hometown for decades of years
But he likes to recall his younger years of the past
And only the memories of what was does last
A grandfather in his late sixties divorced from his wife
Ben is a man who makes the most of his life
He does not have a partner growing old on his own
On his side of the town well liked and well known
A long standing member of the town's football club
One well known and well liked in the local pub
He enjoys a few beers and the pub music and song
And is always happy to join in the pub singalong
Ben now in the ranks of the retired working men
Next June of years he will be three score and ten
A likeable fellow one generous and of spirit kind
Growing old on his own and content in his mind.
