Definitions will spawn in a new window (Wordnet):

1962
larrylark

Far above my head,
 1
on a ladder propped against clouds,
 2
father proudly painted gutters
 3
between placing bread and butter
 4
on the table, and putty in the cracks
 5
of family life. Mother, his wife, held onto
 6
his shoe as he flew round the roof,
 7
she gripped tight; in love with our brand
 8
new house. Crikey! Electric cooker
 9
and fridge full of food, 1962, not one cloud
 10
settled in a bright blue sky while a Beatles tune
 11
"Love Me Do", crackled the airwaves.
 12
I swear on a clear day I can see myself
 13
waving from miles away.
