O to be in England <br />When I was young and twenty. <br /> <br />Sitting happily in my chair <br />I now recall so very well <br />All the words that cast a spell: <br />February - forty-six, a fact <br />Bank of England Act... <br />July the fifth, forty-eight <br />~~The Appointed Day~~ <br />When our Nation's Health <br />Service came to stay. <br />In the next decade came <br />The Clean Air Act...what <br />A great impact this had <br />On our lives and our <br />Environment <br /> <br />O to be in England <br />When I was young and thirty.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-on-my-mind-forever/
