Wizz kid ....to the tune of barefoot days
I can remember how fast I used to be
When dad or mam said do a job for me
That's the family time we had
No mobile phones and no i pad
A great time I do recall-was “tippling up the wall.
We used to talk, -not have our eyes glued to a phone
Playing outside games our kids have never known
A gang of kids played in a crowd,
All keeping safe together
No coats or brollies -just get wet
We'd laugh about the weather
We survive, fetching coal and doing chores
And a penny chew was our reward
Our holidays at the coast, we loved to go by train
Never thought of going abroad, not many went by plane
What happens now
No-one does "owt fer nowt"
Not like we did, for all the elder folk
I know you're on your phone, what will the craze be next
You haven't heard a thing I’ve said
I'll send it you by text !
