When I Was A Kid

Just three channels on tele

Screens were very small

No remote control or colour

But I was never bored at all

The crash of coal In bunkers

Pennies the size of CDs

I'd play outside till the sunset

Grass stains on my knees

Mum would always worry so

As Mobiles were yet to be

I'd call her from a phone box

Which always stank of wee

I loved the game of conkers

Climbing up the trees

Making bows and arrows

Wiping nose on sleeves

Go-karts, bikes and fishing

Rounder's, Hide and seek

Exploring up the fields and woods

Is how I'd spend my week

The best day of my life back then

Was the summer of 74

Dad had bought a new TV

No black & white no more

Comics were so magical

There were my internet

Those days are gone I miss them so

But I never will forget

Though I am a late 90's kid I can relate to it. 😀 Very well written. Every word is so true.
