Taliesin Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 With all this talk about technology and kids wanting more and more of it to cram their off hours with, I sometimes wish that we could just get rid of it all and return instead to a simpler time. I guess, I'm finally getting old So I've decided to share one of my verses with you. It is of course copyrighted, but if you would like to reproduce it, just drop me a line...I don't bite..well unless I really know you It doesn't seem a moment since the time I was a kid, we made our own toys back then I smile at what we did.. A box became a rocket ship to take us to the stars, or maybe it was a wagon, the world was truly ours. With a knotty piece of wood and rusty pram wheels from the tip, we made carts we thought so good through the back-streets we would skip. Coming home tired and muddy we'd happily bath and bed, we never fought with anybody most times we were to tired. Scuffed shoes tucked beneath the bed until the adventure tomorrow to come, I might even build me a tent (yawn) have we got any old sheets mum? ttfn Tal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sounds like my childhood. We made our own toys and our own sidewalk vehicles. Nothing better than an empty box and empty spools of thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thats a lovely poem. My sister and I used to get up to allsorts in the garden and on our bikes and made our own entertainment. We weren't bought things except for birthday and Xmas and we appreciated everything we got and everything we had and took care of them.
