Child's Eye View
I try to show you the world,
things of culture in the afternoon sun.
Edinburgh Castle I say with glee......
"Look daddy a pond" is what you say to me.
Look at these artefacts, they
matter so much historically.
Please pay attention to me.
"But daddy there's a pond"
"Snails live in the pond" you say.
A trip to the museum to
open your mind. Yet what
is the most fascinating thing
you can find? "Look daddy a Pond"
is what you say.
So much for culture, history,
education. There's only one
thing you want to do..........
"Lets look at the pond daddy",
says you.
Lets look at the pond instead
of the boring old castle, its so
much more fun and so much
less hassle. Why have culture
when you can have a pond?
"Look Daddy a Pond", lets look
at the pond" and of course I
give in to you. "Come on daddy
lets look at the pond..........."
