 Lorna's latest masterpiece 

Remember.......

A veritable playground 
So much to behold
With family there
For us all to be told.
To mind your way
Be always aware
Of the dangers that lurk 
Don’t ever dare.
Take any chances
But did we listen
We just carried on
Now kiddies are missing,
All the freedom we shared
Long ago, way back then
Jumping off tree swings
Making Gang Huts, Buts and Bens.
In fallen down trees 
Where we huddled inside
Was there for a few hours 
With pals we would bide.
We’d jump over logs 
In the stream and we’d paddle
We’d pick hips and haws
And then we’d skedadel.
I’m sure that’s spelt wrong
But it doesn’t really matter 
We all would get by
Cause we all had the patter.
I had stilts that were homemade 
Sledges, boagies were fun
Going at full speed
Second to none.
But when we flew off them
It wasn’t half sore
But just turned them over
And climbed on for more.
Cause that’s how we were
Way back in the day
Great fun and great company 
Always outside to play.
We’d scrape sticks we’d found 
Bend them, string them, so we
Could make bows and arrows
To fire down from the trees.
We’d play hopscotch too
With the black polish tin
Chalked numbers on the pavement 
What a terrible din.
Then we’d play hide and seek
And we’d play, chap door run
Poor old Mrs Thingumajigs
Loud screaming son.
Would come out red faced 
Spluttering unpronounceable words
Never hung round there long enough 
He was awfully absurd.
We were only just kids
Shouldn’t have to put up
With language like that 
Come on! put a penny in swear cup.
But now when I think 
About what we would say
Back in the past
Growing up in the day. 
Guess there was always 
One who’d let slip
Not me mind you, no!
Sweary word blip blip blip.
But I know in those days
You would know all about it
If they told mam and dad
Who would sure have a fit.
You would run for the hills
Couldn’t plead ignorance then
Just take what was coming
And don’t do it again.
We were hardly ever in
We were out all day long
In our veritable playground 
Out and among.
All our friends, family, neighbours 
Such a special time where
We were growing up happy 
Right there.
So for now I must say cheers 
These memories only last
As long as there’s people 
Who look to the past.
And keep them all clasped
To their souls evermore 
Kept in their minds, spread around
Never to ignore.
The importance they play
To keep all our minds young
Here where we were brought up
And others far flung.
So try to remember 
The youth of today
Will have their own memories 
In their own special way.
Lorna Johnston.

Did she spell that wrong, realise, and was then struck by inspiration? Or did she deliberately spell it wrong to provide a rhyme for patter?

Scholars will study Lorna's poetry one day, an underrated genius IMO
