Cordial

Daddy’s a factory manager
we must be middle class

we all go to a grammar school
yes we’re middle class

Mum and Dad from the Malone Road
said no to golf and tennis
still middle class

plenty of art books in our house
culturally middle class

don’t have a lot of money
but still middle class

beautiful garden in the summer
house built especially for us

it’s a funny word that cordial
Mum makes our orange juice

welcome to the middle class
