Childhood

(Entry 57 - 23. 07. 2019 )

Let's have some fun!

Children love having fun

Yellow wiggle, red wiggle, blue wiggle, purple wiggle

Singing, dancing, all the primary colours

Thomas the number 1 tank engine

And all his friends

Edward, Henry, Gordon, James & Percy

Tidmouth Sheds & the Fat Controller

'Bob the builder, can we fix it? '

'Bob the builder, yes we can! '

And all his helpers

Lofty, Muck, Scoope, Rolley & Dizzy

And the ultimate thriller - Star Wars

Darth Vader, Luke Sky Walker &Han Solo

And the Lego blocks in every child's toy box

From kindergarten all the way into adulthood

Not to mention the international hits

Disneyland & all it's characters

Sesame Street & all the residents

Ben Ten, Astro Boy, Toy Stories & Harry Porter

Only pity, childhood is too short

How could any child embraces all these & more

It's crazy, buzy & intense

And fun? Not if it's become a race.

Nowadays, when I turn on kid's tv programme

Even as a 50 year old, I can not help feeling the pressure

The pressure of the newest, latest & the popular

The peer pressure shoots through the roof

When these children grow up

They will impose the same pressure on their cubs

The pride of their own pride

' One day, you will become a king '
