Back In Da Day, Like Poem by Charlie F. Kane

Don’t yaow all remember me?
I used ta follow ya back in da day!
Ya know, when ya were jus startin out, like,
Playin those little gigs, like.
I was big fan back in da day!

I went ta school with ya,
Don’t ya remember me, mate?
I used ta push ya in the playground,
Good times, eh, back in da day!
But yaow passed all ya exam, dintya?

Ah, look at me naow, lads,
Top o me game like,
Boss sez I’ll be goin up in da world, like,
Sez I’ll be a big maaan someday,
Not as big as youz guys, o course.

Maybe I’ll see ya round, like,
Maybe it’ll be like back in da day,
Xecpt you’re big names now, aint ya?
An’ look at little ol me, serving ya food!
Funny haow fings work oaut, eh?
