Those Elementary School Days

Those Elementary School Days

Sand Boxes and Slides
Swings that Rattle
Kids Screaming
Playing Tag

Don’t you wish
You could go back
When you used to fish?

When everything was great?
It seemed like
Everything was up to date?

Everyone seemed so harmless?
There were no cat fights?
But now people are charmless.

Blocks and Play-Dough
Crushes and Rushes
Jump rope and Monkey bars
Playing with dolls and G.I. Joe?

Little kids don’t realize that
We want to go back.
To when everyone got to bat?

When everyone was kind?
And people use to care?
Everyone could find
What they needed?

Silly games
Care-Free Day Dreams
Imagination Ran Wild
Silly Names

Don’t you remember when no one cared?
When Appearances didn’t matter?
When everyone shared?

Those were my memories of my Elementary School Days...
Don’t you just wish we could go back
And not have a care?
Blackmail
Secrets and Talking Behind Peoples Back
Cliques and Horrible Pranks

Those are the High School Days ...
Just wishing we could go back
And do everything to make things better
Knowing what we know now...
But those are gone
Just memories of those Elementary School Days....
