Remembering when i was a child.

When I was a child I played hopscotch

Marbles and blackjack,

I even jumped with a skipping rope.

There was not much TV

It was black and white then.

Yet on TV I remember

Andy Pandy plus Bill and Ben,

My Favourite was the wooden tops with spotty dog.

We also road our bicycles and swung on swings

Climb trees and had mud fights,

Plus played hide and seek.

Played netball and went swimming

Fun was had by all,

Frilly dresses were worn to Birthday Parties

Ribbons in our hair

We had games galore,

Pass the parcel, pin the tail on the donkey,

Of cause Musical chairs.

Gone are all those days

For its so different now

With all the world and the technology

Computers in our homes

Still it’s great to have them memories

To tell as we grow old.
