Seren Roberts Poet Verse

Mam's Park

My Mam told me about a park she used as a child
there was a real steam engine cemented in the earth
for the children to climb and play within
no safety nets to catch you as you fell or were you pushed

the swing area had its problems too
where Sammy used to like to  see the girls knickers
when they swung  high in the air
as Mam said all knew about him, never touched a girl

there was an enormous shute, all shiny brass
so many children caught there pants in the scews
and hung there til the rip could be heard.
they walked home clutching their skirts closely.

I laugh because the parks she took me 
were so boring in comparison.
now all are children friendly no sense of danger
yet stay special in my mind.

the lake where swan's, ducks have to fight the seagulls for titbits
loved the boats you paddled your way around the islands in the  lake.
best of all I remember the ice cream stall with its mile long queue.
worth the wait, the flavours to die for,taste was heaven!y,priced too high.
