1968

All I remember from 1968
Is peanut butter, Thunderbirds
And a badly painted Beatles plate.

My mother talked a lot - my father let her.
But she never mentioned student riots,
Or their desire to change society for the better. 

(Tim Bradford, 1994)

'1968' appeared in the Things We Said Today, an anthology of poems about the Beatles (1995).
