The See Saw

The see saw goes up
Two small children having fun
The see saw goes down
One child gets off
Then the other follows

The see saw goes up
The see saw goes down
Then the see saw balance evenly
Only to go up once more
Then down again to get off

Don't get off when the other person is high up on it.

So true, I always wait for my end to be down before I get off. Have a nice day my friend.

I love seesaws, Darlene, and even at my age I still grab the chance to go on one; same applies to swings :) ~ I hope you've had a lovely start to the new year! Best regards // paul

Glad to see that you're also a 'swinger' Darlene...nothing to do with an uninhibited lifestyle, mind you:)

Nice one about the see saw. Those were the days, being a child playing on the see saw! I think I called it teeter totter!

I use to go on the see saw as well. I also went on the swing. It was my favourite. I enjoyed pushing myself high into the air.I enjoyed the playground.
