Amherst Wrens
/Amherst, in Spring the wrens
Gather together in this place,
Dear Aunt Jane used to point them out
Simple things made her happy,
Though she had not a tooth in her face!
We’d leave Dundonald Street
And walk down Hickman,
‘til we got to Victoria Street
It was all very peaceful then!
We’d go to buy bread
Can milk and cookies,
At a store called Margolian’s
We’d also buy goodies!
When we got home we’d have some tea
With six spoons of sugar just for me,
My aunt was 80 and I was 10,
I remember it was a wonderful time when
The wrens would gather in this place
And my aunt had a toothless but benevolent face!
