Bang, Bang - Gotcha

Cops and robbers, we used to play
      Our default way to pass the day

   We'd trade off, so we'd not get too bored
      Not enough excitement, too little reward

And the kids used real bullets sometimes. Never got reported. ~ George Orwell

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 8/30/2022 9:55:00 AM For me, it was Cowboys and Indians. I usually chose to play the Indian - stealthy and quiet. :) Linda Login to Reply

Michael Tor Date: 8/28/2022 9:51:00 PM Brought back memories Gershon. Use to love to play Zorro. Saw him perform at a stadium my parents took me too. He came up to me on his horse and it was the greatest thing on earth for me. My parents were great to do that for me. Miss them Dearly. Rene and Anais both French and Spanish. Thanks for the memories... Login to Reply

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 8/28/2022 8:52:00 PM This really brings back memories, Gershon. My brother was always getting cap guns, so of course we had to play cops and robbers. Great poem! :) Login to Reply

Awtry Date: 8/28/2022 7:56:00 PM My 3-year old granddaughter comes to me and says "You're the bad guy and I'm the super hero!"--Of course it sounds really cute when she says it :) ps Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/28/2022 8:19:00 PM Ha, ha! At least your granddaughter still wants to be the super-hero. Be grateful! Keep smiling, Gershon
