Apples are good for you.
Apples are red, never blue,
But they CAN be …….yellow.
Bite one: tart or mellow?
Cats have a furry cover.
Cats like to discover ….
Delicious mice to eat,
Devouring, then, their meat.
Easter eggs can be hid.
Easter was fun, as a kid.
Fun with the Easter Bunny.
(For candy, Mom spent money.)
Girls once did wear dresses,
Gingham bows in tresses.
Their feet wore Mary Janes.
Their wrists wore daisy chains.
Indians; Cowboys; TV.
It never did harm to ME!
“Jerusalem” I did sing.
Jesus, once was my ‘King’.
Kids learned ABC;
Kept me ….illiterate-free.
Lots of stuff I have read.
Loads of words in my head!
Monsters night …..Halloween;
Mummies too can be seen.
Night with ….full moon glowing;
Never (fear) was I showing.
On a sled on a hillside;
Over snow my sled did slide.
Purple, did turn (my fingers):
Pain now …sometimes lingers.
“Quack” my Rubber Ducky said.
Quietly then, I went to bed.
Recess was fun at my school;
Rarely did I play the fool.
Such a good boy was I;
Still, once, I got hit in eye.
Toys I had as a kid;
Them I shared, never hid.
Up until I was …….a teen,
Unless “the other” …..was mean!
Valentine cards we did “send”‘
Very few, with “Love”, did end.
We exchanged in grade school;
Well, I guess it was social “tool”?
“X”, we learned did mean “kiss”;
X-tra kisses did not ‘miss’.
Yet, no card became a marriage, …..or..
Yearning for a baby carriage.
Zoos were an attraction.
Zebra was a distraction.
