Poem
AGE OF TEN Way back then when I was ten Things were so very different then I wrote with ink in a fountain pen Whenever we could we would build a den And I loved to help my dad in the garden Way back then when I was ten I walked to school and was never late Always ate everything on my dinner plate Played hop scotch by the garden gate And was not allowed to go to bed late Way back then when I was ten No television colours only black and white Real Christmas trees and a glass fairy light We all had a different size of trike Then I got my first two wheeled bike Way back then when I was ten We had so much freedom to roam But must be in for meals at home Only a phone boxes with a dial phone And no phone in many a home Way back then when I was ten Latest craze was roller skates And hula hoop with your mates Skipping ropes and Meccano gates But lots of fun with wooden crates Way back then when I was ten Coins were in pounds shillings and pence Mothers talked over the garden fence Scooters that you could make go at such a pace Noisy steam trains that always seem to race Way back then when I was ten With friends you played out doors Toys for your imagination scatted on the floor Skipping ropes, skates and many things more Sledges of wood, a dolls house with opening doors Way back then when I was ten Fun was had with blackboard and chalk Clay dolls that you could walk And new plastic ones that wouldn’t talk Then babies came by way of the Stork UNSUPPORTED CODE
