Tree Swing Memories

He sat on his swing attached to a willow tree swinging to and fro, full of happiness and glee shouting to his mother, mummy look, look at me, life was so good, loved, happy, footloose, fancy free now sits on his motorcycle, mum doesn't agree shouts to young ladies, come ride it's fun you will see though your safety I will not, can not guarantee but I am sure you will feel footloose, fancy free, now he is married with his own son, John Barry swings to and fro, shouting hey daddy look at me bringing back memories of his mum Emily how she allowed him to be footloose, fancy free. time passed so quick, he saw his only son marry still looks at that swing attached to the willow tree blown to and fro by a Gentle breeze, quite scary being unable to be footloose, fancy free. 21st May 2017 Contest fancy free Sponsored by Julia Ward.
