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

Among us also it was a popular game in our youg days. We too used to reverse the roles for a change. We found this exciting ....!

Gosh. Kids will be kids everywhere, I guess. They used to play this in the USSR, but with kids and parents. And the kids used real bullets sometimes. Never got reported. ~ George Orwell

For me, it was Cowboys and Indians. I usually chose to play the Indian - stealthy and quiet. :) Linda

I guess they want to teach you how to scratch your ass and grease the politicians' palms, i/o of just picking your nose all day. ~ Booger King

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...

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! :)

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

Ha, ha! At least your granddaughter still wants to be the super-hero. Be grateful! Keep smiling, Gershon
