The poem lacks a specific setting, though its language and snippets of British dialect, like “mum” (1) and “soppy” (7), suggest twentieth century England as the general setting. The setting might more accurately be described as the memories of someone who spent their childhood in England and believes their experiences with their parents to have a universal resonance, such that the setting of their poem is life itself.
