Sardines

Sardines I opened a tin of sardines for my breakfast and thought of my mother the way she smelt coming home from the fish factory were she put sardines in a tin can. Since didn`t have a bathroom for a shower the smell prevailed until Saturday when she had a bath in a tin sink. There used to be 22 factories in my hometown now there is only, one left and it is fully automatic. Nostalgia cannot mask how awful it was the so-called old days, the only bonus I can think of there were no TV, only books. Never ate the sardines in the tin gave them to the neighbour`s cat.
