War games indeed, Terry, you made it child's play! Congratulations on your win. Very clever - took us one way and then twirled us around 180 degrees!

Oh that was cute, how he jumped up when tea was ready. Inventive poem!

Thanks Andrea. When I was a kid, if you got shot when playing ‘war’ you had to be tagged and ‘released’ to be alive again. I don’t suppose kids play ‘war’ anymore. Shame really, because we all realised that when it was for real, you didn’t get ‘released’.
