playgrounds once upon a time

once upon a time
in the fifties and sixties
school playgrounds had small merry-go-rounds
and teeter totters aka seesaws

our slides were as tall as our nine story school house
safety was not a big deal
no one wore helmets or kneepads

our job was to play
have adventures and love our life
I miss those playgrounds
