Taboo Inspired

Frolicking with tiny scouts, back yard comradery
Dozens of dizzying turns taken, careening down slide 
Fondly odd, peer conspiring, first concious memory

Excited friends' squeals by bemused parents heard
Elation in my veins bubbled, bliss effervescent tide
Lifted spirit lunacy, day before my birthday, - third! 

Chubby climbing limbs, giggling at game outlawed 
Naughty thought conjured a single word, admired
" Poo! Fart! Wee! Bottom!" declarers struck a chord

Resuming rudeness sparked surprise, fits of hilarity 
Pass the pants down humour in toddlers transpired
Taboo knew timid tame, beside preschool applaud

            Written for Contest : Minichu on an Innocent
                                                         Childhood Memory
         (then discovered this has far too many syllables)!

Either you teach preschool or you have spent a lot of time with toddlers because you fully understand their sense of humor and the words that give them glee.

Cheer! Have spent too many hours working with the (snotty) little cyclones.
