| Summer Seemed Longer *~*~* When I was Seven or maybe Eight I'd play outside until very late The days were never ending - it always felt hot The Summer seemed longer, as time was forgot *~*~* My brand new swing was THE best thing I wouldn't get off, believing I could fly! As I urged my legs on harder, getting high upon high! When Dad cut the lawn - on my swing I'd still sit We'd play dodge and weave and he'd almost get hit! *~*~* Dad built me a house, a house just for me! Where I'd have lots of parties and invite Mum for tea We'd drink Orange squash and eat cardboard rolls Just me, my Mum and all of my dolls! *~*~* I had a repore with the lady next door And we'd chat over the hedge about all kinds of stuff Only darkness would stop us, we couldn't talk enough! We'd be laughing and joking, Dad would sometimes sing Then we'd hear Mum call, "arn't you Two coming in?" *~*~* I'd listen to the Radio all Summer long And always sing along to that Donny Osmond song! Some days I'd go out front, and play with my mates We'd push dolls in prams or whizz around on skates! It hardly ever rained, well that's how it seemed to me But even if it did we'd just shelter beneath a tree! *~*~* When it got too hot, we'd sit around being lazy I called Dad Buttercup because he called me Daisy! When all hot and bothered, I'd splash around in water That was Mum, and my Dad and me Sani their daughter! *~*~* ~Sani~ |
