THE PLAYGROUND

A lonely place,
A playground without children.
Running around like mad things,
On swings and slide and roundabout.
The climbing frame,
To the girls, a fairy castle,
Waiting for a handsome prince.
To the boys, a fort,
To be defended against injuns’.
Parents call, “ Home time”,
And they are gone.
A lonely place once more.
