Remember those days!



 Remember those days in that old school yard?
We were young,
Innocent, bold but smart.

Days were long, and full of fun
So many memories
With lots more to come.

Classrooms were full, and never dull
Old fashioned milk bottles
The government rule.

That little glass bottle
And that long white straw
With its silver top, we all wanted more.

That yearly medical!
The nit nurses grin
Hoping your head held nothing within?

But oh how I remember, that old school yard
When the summers were long
Those times were hard.

I look back on those days
And smile with pride
Those old school days, there was nothing to hide.
