Well played indeed!!

🖕🏻we carried our ladders down the street
With the wrought-iron gate rows
🖕🏻 I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers
In my lunch-break
🖕🏻 Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work
🖕🏻 We went for lemonade and Paris buns
At the shop and broke for tea
🖕🏻 I collected from the lady
And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
🖕🏻 I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
In that down joint

that always reminds me of my English grandmother....on the double-decker buses, you had to go upstairs to smoke.....I always wanted to go upstairs because, well, for a kid it was way cooler! But grandma said that's where all the riffraff goes (which was ANOTHER reason I wanted to go up top)
