Poem
Wouldn't it be wonderful to wake up one morning To find you were still a child So much energy jumping up and down upon your bed So many wonders and thoughts swirling through your bed No responsibilities Just fun and play with your dolls or swinging in the trees Getting a dose of the measles having a poorly on your knee looking at a catalogue at all the toys Building a den and playing cowboys and Indians With the other girls and boys Dressing up in mummies clothes catching frogs and picking your nose Rolling down grassy hills and knowls Going for summer walks with a bottle of lemonade Pretending you are a solider standing on parade Watching cartoons all day on TV Having a pet to love and feed Giving your teddy bear a hug Collecting crawly things like slugs and bugs Having a big bag of sweets giving a high five to every child that you meet Having an imaginary friend called Fred Bed time stories in your Jim Jams in bed Pretending to be a pirate out at sea Seeing strange faces in every tree Licking the cake bowl after mummy makes a cake Riding on your bicycle or on your roller skates Reading books under the covers with a torch at night Playing football flying a kite Dreaming of becoming an astronaut a fireman and scientist too having a great day out at the zoo Playing children's games calling out rude names Playing in the wood getting up to no good Getting head Lice in your hair Sitting in a high chair Dancing like a loony at a party Hating girls yuk! with their ribbons and their curls Doctor Who Winnie the poo Sponge Bob Larry the Lamb and Batman and now I'm Superman! Train set that gives your Farther who bough it for you so much joy Pink for a girl and blue for a boy playing on the swings and slide Bucket and spade making sand castles at the seaside Everyone saying 'awe aren't you sweet' Coco pops egg and toast soldiers to eat Balloons floating high into the sky your older sister hitting you and making you cry Sitting on your potty pacifier in your mouth 'Mummy I've done a poo'you shout 'Good boy I'll lift you out. sitting in your pram Being pushed everywhere by your Mam Going on a bus singing a little song looking out the window and sticking out your tongue Digging in the garden eating worms and soil Having earache Pouring in olive oil playing with your rubber duck and battleship while your in the bath reading your favourite comics and having a laugh Asking lots of questions your parents find hard to answer 'Where do babies come from?' Having your leg in plaster playing in the school yard playing hide and seek Being poorly every week new shoes happy feet holding mommy's hand and skipping down the street Watching the fish swim around your fish tank Putting pennies in your piggy bank Ooh how my dipper must have stank Ice cream and jelly tots uhhm I used to scoff the lot playing a tree in a school play Packing a suitcase and running away throwing pebbles in a pond all day long. Phew I'm shattered after al that. imagine doing all that now. the mere thought tires me out. Peter Dome.copyright.2014.July.
