When the Red Red Robin

When the red red robin Comes bob bob bobbin' along It's that long awaited early harbinger Of yet another wonderful spring When this sleepy old world wakes up Yawns and greets the new season With happiness and a song in its heart Time to live, love, laugh and be happy To feel like a kid again doin' what we did again Oh those wonderful years We probably didn't realize how wonderful they were Only now, looking back, do we realize Being a kid again, doin' what we did again Would be sooo amazingly amazing!!! Alas time marches on but the red red robin Keeps singin' his old sweet song! (A bit premature???) © Jack Ellison 3015

Dragon does all the rolling around and playing that I once did... After reading this he put on his red Super Dragon cape and scampered out to play... Ahhh... To be yound again... Or maybe not... Dragon will be back in here any minute with a bump on his head for hitting another tree... We tend to forget those parts of our youth... LOL
