children arguing, streets bustling
with cars. A wave...

Patter on the window,
From a dark and dreary Cloud,
The lightning really bright,
And then the thunder banging loud.
The memory of childhood,
As the rain prevented play,
My mother’s words still ringing loud,
“No playing out today”.
The raincoat made of...

Friday night's here at last ...lets have a blast.
Teenagers dash to discos ...ready to dance

Apples are the early birds
Each pink and green mixed 
Take us,  put us in place
Yes, you are welcome
Smiles the gold plated goat's horn

Insist the maple leaves
Oranges join them

Latina (claims she’s J-Lo’s cousin)

on a quest to conquer the enemy.
