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.

Outside, or inside, on any given day.

I REMEMBER BACK IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN WE’D PLAY HIDE AND SEEK-
ONE WOULD COUNT TO ONE HUNDRED WHILE TRYING NOT TO PEEK.
AND THEN AFTER THE SEARCH WAS ON, AND THE HIDING ONE WOULD BE FOUND-
THE HOLLERED WORD “IT”, BECAME THE SEEKERS’ ULTIMATE SOUND.
FOR IT MEANT THAT NOW THE SEEKER WOULD GET A CHANCE TO HIDE-
I NEVER SEEMED TO HIDE GOOD ENOUGH, NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED.
SO I BECAME “IT” MORE TIMES THAN I COULD COUNT BACK THEN-
BUT I’D STILL PLAY THE GAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
FOR THE ART TO PLAY OUTSIDE WAS IN STYLE AT THE TIME-
NOT PLAYING OUTSIDE WOULD HAVE FELT LIKE A CRIME.
KIDS BACK THEN DIDN’T WANT TO STAY COOPED UP INSIDE-
WE’D RATHER HAVE PLAYED A GAME OR TAKEN A SCOOTER RIDE.
OR PLAY HOPSCOTCH, OR A LITTLE TAG-
IN THE “TO DO” CATEGORY, OUR LIST DIDN’T LAG.
TO RUN AND PLAY JUST LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY-
JUST GIVE ME A PIECE OF CHALK AND I’LL SHOW YOU THE WAY.
ONE, TWO, HOP, AND GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE TO PICK UP MY ROCK-
THREE, FOUR, A QUICK GAME CAN APPEAR TO TEMPORILY TURN BACK THE CLOCK.
