1986

The hand of God deprived England of a World Cup win, 
Which resulted with the Argentines taking away the trophy to Buenos Aries 
So this victory wasn’t one for the fairies.

Ricky Ashley sang “never give you up”
Boris Becker retained his Wimbledon singles title at 18 
And politics had its place when it came to debating.

Liverpool football club did the double for the very first time
You also got more for your money back then, regardless if it was a pound, dollar or a yen.

There were no smartphones but Computers did lift off, 
Popular music was joyous to the ears,
Eze-e, Fat Larry’s band, Tpau and Christopher Cross sung “sailing” 
There was Jaws 1,2 and 3….
There was brilliance in this none digital life 
We didn’t have internet which causes gossip and that bit of rife.

Don’t get me wrong, things do evolve 
But back then the answer to the question was calmer and much easier to solve.
