repost from 2008 inspired by Constance contest theme

Do you remember Skipping with a rope..alone Or catching 'jacks' with stones. Do you recall Tennis against an old brick wall Or conker contests in the fall. Did you chalk out hopscotch squares Play make believe,games of dare Hide and seek or touch and run In a childhood wrapped in fun. Is simplicity a thing of the past Will life in a circle turn Will common sense..return?

I do remember trying to entertain myself in all of these ways.

Enjoyed this, remembering playing such games. These days common sense seems to be as common as tact and grace, that is to say rare, but certainly appreciated. xomo
