Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 569 (Until The Day Is Done)

We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.
.
Outside we had so much fun-
Of course, using our imagination.
.
A program or two, on TV, we’d get to see-
And, then the rest, of the time, outside we
would be.
.
Climbing trees and making mud pies-
Counting bees, and catching flies.
.
Running, til we could run no more-
Always wondering, what next, would be
in store.
.
Playing hide and seek-
With that once, in a while peek.
.
Sitting under a tree-
Talking of what we would do next,
and what we’d grow up to be.
.
We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 834 (Run To The Doctor)

We used to climb a tree-

And, to get back down was

as easy as it could be.

.

For we were agile, and could

bend and jump-

When we hit the ground, you’d

hear that thump.

.

And, run, we did as fast as we could-

On the dirt road, and straight into the wood.

.

A long way, is what we would run-

Until out of breath, then it still wouldn’t be over and done.

.

We played ball, and rolled on the ground-

All throughout the day, the summersault would be found.

.

But, something changed as the years went by-

To do the above activities, were hardly given a try.

.

A recent camping trip, with the grandchildren,

brought this to light-

For after sleeping on the ground, things just

didn’t feel right.

.

Obviously we aren’t as agile as we used to be-

While holding the back, a doctor is what we

presently needed to see.

.

We used to climb a tree-

And, to get back down was

as easy as it could be.
