LEARNING
I remember playing with my Ball up the entry on the wall
Then there was Skipping how fast the rope would turn
Mam would say: keep at it or else you'll never learn
Knitting and Sewing, not my greatest thing
But I loved Cat's cradle, with a piece of string
Climbing trees, hurting my knees
on my Skates I couldn't break, oh my Scooter, had no hooter
On my Bike I do recall, having quite a nasty fall
Out all day at the park, home for tea before the dark
A gang of us would Scrump and run, what a laugh
Just childhood fun !
When you think of all we did such a lot for a little kid
Being tougher, doing so much more, we always did a family chore
Like Iron, Cook and Clean, You'll need to know when you're older
Now's the time to learn "Our Jean ".....thanks mum
You can get things ready to make a fire
clean the grate and get the coal....oh dear such a lot to do
Do you want to do it Dad ? yes of course I do
But I'm passing the experience on to YOU !
The accident on the bike was going too fast on the top of Hungerhill road
and flying over the handle bars, ouch
