Only 29
Had another birthday wow thats 29
You would think by now i would toe the line
Nope thats just impossible i love to jump and shout
Swing on the children's swings
When the park keepers not about
The slide still looks so inviting
Can remember on a previous trip
When coming down that blinking slide
Heard an awful rip
Knew without looking was filled with despair
By the feel of cold metal my ??? was bare
Getting home was difficult
Trying to keep my modesty intact
Walking with back nearest the wall
Was not an easy act.
It was a cold night snow was on the ground
Serves me right, leave things alone when the parkies not around.
Even with such a reminder I view the playground with awe
Can i swing high enough to go right over the bar?
Well a girl has to try it, don't you agree
Fell off as i knew i would badly grazed my knee
But i did it, I swung myself so high
Felt like a bird flying in the sky
Was then I let go, silly girl i thought,
As head went bang knocked myself out
But a look of delight came over my face
Not a sign of a rip in this pretty lace
But this is the last time i will play on these things
Cos next year I'm 30 too old for slides and swings
Hmmm will have to think about that one, today is just fine,
Can have another sneaky go, cos I am still 29.
