GAMES WE WOULD PLAY.
I'VE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOLDAYS TODAY.
OF NO PARTICULAR YEAR.
SO HERES MY RHYME I HOPE YOU ENJOY.
AND THE PICTURES I'M PLACING HERE.
MY SUBJECT TODAY IS OF GAMES WE WOULD PLAY.
I'M SURE YOU REMEMBER THEM TOO.
I DON'T SUPPOSE I'LL NAME ALL OF THEM.
BUT HERE ARE JUST A FEW.
SKIPPING TO RHYMES IN THE PLAYGROUND
US HAPPY GIRLS BACK THEN.
AND THE LADS HAVING FUN WITH THERE MARBLES
BOLLIES GLOGGIES REMEMBER THEM.
ANOTHER GAME WAS THE WHIP AND TOP.
ON TOP A PATTERN WE'D DRAW
IN PASTEL COLOURS WITH the CHALK.
I'VE NO IDEA REALY WHAT FOR.
WE WOULD SET THE TOP OFF SPINNING.
ROUND IT WOULD WIZZ SO FAST.
WHIPPING IT HARD TO SEE IT SPIN.
HOPEING YOURS STOPPED UP LAST.
HERE'S A BRILLIANT PICTURE.
OF A GAME WE'VE ALL PLAYED IN OUR DAY.
DO YOU REMEMBER DRAWING ONE .
ON THE PLAYGROUND OR ON THE CAUSEWAY.
HOPSCOTCH DO YOU REMEMBER GIRLS.
BET MY LIFE YOU DO.
WELL FOR THOSE OF YOU HERES A PICTURE
JUST TO SHOW ALL OF YOU.
WHEN SMALL AND WE WERE IN NURSURY SCHOOL.
A FAVOURITE ALSO OF MINE.
WAS RING A RING A ROSES.
I KNOW YOU ALL KNOW THAT RHYME.
OH! AND NOW SPRINGS TO MIND ANOTHER ONE.
BUT I NEVER COULD GET THE KNACK.
TWAS A TINY BALL AND A SHINEY SET.
OF FIVE LIKE STAR SHAPES NAME OF JACKS.
THEN SINGING ORANGES AND LEMONS.
WE WOULD ALL LINE UP IN A ROW.
UNDER THE ARCH OF TWO JOINED HANDS.
WE WOULD ALL BOB AND GO.
THE IDEA WAS THAT THE VERSE WAS SUNG.
THEN THE HANDS BROUGHT DOWN AND CAUGHT.
THE LAST MAN GOT HIS HEAD CHOPPED OFF.(HA)
WELL THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TAUGHT .
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE ONE CALLED PICK UP STICKS.
I'M AFRAID I'D FORGOTTON ABOUT THIS.
SO I'LL JUST POP IN THE PICTURE.
THEN THERE WAS THE YO-YO
UP AND DOWN THIS DID GO.
MOVING IT GENTLY WITH YOUR HAND.
NOT FAST JUST PRETTY SLOW
ALSO TWO BALLS AGAINST THE WALL.
RECITEING AS WE DID SEND.
THEM BOUNCING UP ALTERNATLY.
HOURS ON END I HAVE SPENT.
THERES MANY MORE I COULD MENTION.
BUT MY RHYME IT WOULD NEVER END.
SO I HOPE YOUV'E ENJOYED YOUR TRIP BACK IN TIME.
REMEBERING HOW WE'D PLAY
AND I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THE MEMORIES.
IV'E PLACED IN MY RHYME TODAY.
