the house number 8

In the house number 8
lived a family of eight
With equal numbers of boys and girls

The father the mother the daughters the sons
Lived in this house number 8

they look to the past
and speak of the future
But what of the present?

owh how owh how
will we do today..?

Many years before
In the house number 8
Boys and girls ran up the stairs
And scream and shout and sing and dance

Today,
No voices shouting
No children running
For they all have grown
And live on their own


The House number 8
Is now a big empty space
for the few that’s left
it is a very quiet place

Where are you ?
My family of eight…
