A Thick Layer Of Cream

Do I really remember?

The clip clop

Of milkman's horse?

Do I?

Was there really a time,

Secure,

When a parent,

I don't know which one,

Would rise early, 

Fetch the metal framed, 

Plastic coated

Caddy, specifically designed,

To hold milk bottles,

Empty at night,

Full in the morning,

Before the hot sun?

Did that really happen?

Every day?

Apart,

From Sundays?

Was there really 

A thick layer of cream

At the top

Of every bottle?
