The following poems were all written jointly by the children and Perry House residents in 2006.

Perry House is special in many ways  
We like to visit on Wednesdays  
From the time we arrive and they open the door  
There is fun and laughter and so much more.

 ............

We learn about life in the olden days  
So different now in many ways  
When things were on ration and hard to buy  
But now the supermarkets can supply.

............
 
From 70’s to 90’s their ages range  
To us it can all seem very strange
As we learn of the war from those who were there  
Remembering a time when life was not so fair.

............
 
The children from school we like to see  
We chat and have a cup of tea
They laugh and joke and sing and play  
We all wish they could just stay.

............
 
We talk of the war and days gone by  
And still we try to reason why  
Wars are won and wars are lost  
Then we try to count the cost.

............ 

But don’t let our tales of yesterday  
Influence the way you behave today  
Enjoy life and live it to the full!  
That’s our message to you all!
