Tomfoolery

Tiptoe through the tulips 
Tumble across the grass
Teasing behind a tree
Try kiss a Bonny lass
Time out for a sandwich 
Taste homemade lemonade 
Those days will never fade

Heya Pangie thank you, Indeed great memories what would we do without them, I’m trying to forget the bad ones, or at least not dwell on them, for a little while anyway, cheers David

Heya Jan, it’s quiet a carefree poem reflecting some childhood memories, that can never be bought or forgotten, playing about making our own silly fun, cheers David

Thanks Milton, one of those innocent times in our lives not a care in the world, I think it was real, it seemed real, even though now I know, it was oblivion from the reality, that childhood doesn’t last, we must grow up, cheers David
