Cheeky Smile
I remember the sail boat gliding
down the stream,over slippery
boulders and frothy cream.
The Kingfisher darting by, the
tangerine flash catching eye,
minnows hide, scattering fry
And ratty on the grass bank,
gnawing on a crayfish shank,
once he'd eaten the water drank
As Dippers bathed and the
Wagtail's played, in the safety
of the willows shade.
Jam butties covered in soil,
yesterdays bread curling up,
A bottle Tizer there to sup
Scratched knees and nettle rash,
Oiled legs from the bicycle chain,
The long walk home in pouring rain
Then mothers arms at the open door
A whack round the ear, asking what
for, your late, dinners on the plate.
A cheeky smile across this face
