Poor Substitutes

   Our playgrounds have faded
     swings stilled, sandboxes unfilled

   Where are the shovels and pails ~
     replaced by profits and sales

When Federal money enters, playgrounds disappear. Local and state money is parent's money. Thanks for your concern.

Deep. The old playgrounds were better! More dangerous but glorious! Now there’s the new plastic monstrosity and sand or soft pussy making landing areas lol!
