A Newspaper

A newspaper

A newspaper cutting

Is so much more

A childhood memory

You can touch

The joy of eating fish and chips out of newspaper

Adding salt and vinegar or HP sauce

Fish cakes, patties or pies

They all tasted better in the newspaper

The newspaper a look back

A daily history

A daily commentary

At the time we never take much note

Only when we look back

A newspaper is a history

Not just an every day newspaper

Not just cuttings

Something we can read

Feel the paper

Feel the ink

See the picture

See the words

It is tangible in your hands

Leaves it’s ink

A newspaper

Is so much more

A childhood memory

The memory is now yours
