"CHRISTMAS EVE, TWO TEENAGERS HAD BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO GO TO THE BARRA-LAND DANCING, ONLY IF THEY PROMISED TO BE HOME BY ONE. "AYE THAT WILL BE SHINING BRIGHT" SAID ELIZABETH, "ONCE WERE THERE WE'LL ACCIDENTLY FORGET" THE DANCING WAS FULL OF TEENAGERS, ALL THERE FOR THE SAME THING--A LUMBER. AS THE NIGHT WAS GETTING ON ALL THOUGHT OF TIME HAD GONE. ELIZABETH'S PAL HAD GOT HERSELF A DANCE, HAVING A LOOK AROUND SHE SPIED A BOY, THINKING TO HER SELF SHE THOUGHT" I'VE SEEN HIM BEFORE, UP IN THE SPRINGBURN ROAD, Mmmm NICE", THEN HE STARTED TO WALK TOWARDS HER, " OH MY GOD, HE'S GOING TO ASK ME UP, WOW, PLEASE, PLEASE." THEN CAME THE DULCET TONE, " URR YE DANCIN". " OH, OK THEN" COUPLE OF HIPPY SHAKES LATER THEN CAME THE 'FINALE' --A MOONIE, OH YES, ARMS AROUND HIS NECK, HIS ARMS AROUND HER WAIST. " SHEER HEAVEN, SHE THOUGHT, I THINK THIS MUST BE LOVE" IT IS, I CAN HEAR BELLS MY HEART IS POUNDING, HIS VOICE CUT INTO HER THOUGHTS. " THERE'S SOMETHING RINGING, AND IT'S COMING FROM YOUR BAG". RUMMAGING IN THE HAND BAG SHE BROUGHT OUT A LITTLE BROWN BOX-----" OH MUM! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, AS I STRUGGLED TO SWITCH OFF THE TRAVEL ALARM CLOCK SET FOR -----12 O'CLOCK MIDNIGHT THAT MY MUM HAD PUT IN MY BAG "I'LL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN, AS I FETCHED MY PAL FROM THE ARMS OF HER DANCE PARTNER, WAS IT ONE OF YOU SPRINGBURNIANS, THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT NIGHT, WE'LL MAYBE NEVER KNOW, BUT I WAS HOME FOR -----1AM.
