for me the last word doesn't work and therefore isn't needed. ( a small nit i know)
i'm sure lots will feel an affinity to this one. it has a sad kind of humour in its words.
a good narrative poem

thanks for the read as always.
Thanks for recognising the serious side of this poem; I thought I'd done something wrong when the DU commenters said how jolly and nostalgic it was! I put in "though" to rhyme with "so," but I take your point; it is a bit extraneous.
Thanks for your kind feedback, BillySmile
