...... don't know they're born" That was one of my mum's favourite phrases. Nowadays I hear myself saying the very same thing! Ah those good old days.......
Toys Were Us
A clothes horse was a castle
When covered with a coat
The kitchen table upside down
Became a pirate boat
A saucepan and two wooden spoons
Just made an awesome noise
We didn’t spend a fortune
On entertainment or on toys
A fairy liquid bottle
And some sticky sort of plastic
Made a supersonic rocket
Now that was just fantastic
Two cocoa tins, a bit of string
Became a telephone
And with a friend invisible
You never played alone
Computer games and consoles
Are the newest fascination
But the greatest games are those
Which use a child’s imagination
