The Farm
The farm was usual enough
It had bamboo lanes that bordered our paddocks
Cattle that grazed down our paddocks and old broken fences that always fell over. It even had a tree hut.
My brothers and I did what kids do -
Lounged around in the tree house,
Rode maverick and Kenny around their paddock, racing each other,
Pushed the cows around their paddock,
Had mud baths in the muddy paddocks,
Rolled around in the tickly hay
And played hide ‘n’ seek in the long wavy grass.
Doing nothing important. Grace
The Playground
The playground was usual enough
It had monkey bars of all different shapes and sizes,
Slides that twist and turn , ladders that lead up to the highest platforms. It even had a sensory garden.
My friends and I did what girls do-
Chased each other around the garden,
talked about random things,
laughed at funny sayings ,
Played busted on high platforms and monkey bars ,
Talked about important matters ,
Swinged on the monkey bars.
Doing nothing important.
