Memories

Little boy, dirty knees, kite floating in the breeze Findings frogs, tadpoles too, fall in water, soaked right through Lolly stick race, down the stream, school apple pie and shaving cream In bakers shop, poke the cakes, build new bike, forget the brakes Eat strawberries, then put jars back, painting Grandads tomatoes black Scrumping apples, make a raft, old man on the corner completely daft Pinching golf balls from the club, arrowroot biscuits outside the pub Playtime at school, kiss chase today, please Zena this time dont run away Break fireworks up to make a bang, when I am 10 I'll have a gang Must get home its cubs tonight, look theres a bundle, lets watch the fight Gang house built up in the trees, quick in the bomb crater before the farmer sees Books on skates, knock down ginger too, never bored, lots to do Memo biscuits, tanner a pack, see the brush salesman, look mum hes black Slide down bannisters, jump from the ledge, not on the path, just close to the edge Childhood memories will never cease, the mind grows old, the dreams wont ease One memory I'll have right to the end, Chip the Alsatian, my childhood friend
