Favourite Things.

Lunch of french fries and bubble gum,
Cuddles off dad and kisses from mum,
My silly friend daring me, to splat the classroom clock,
Days out in Blackpool chomping on rock,
Cartoons at bedtime, clean pressed pyjamas,
Camels, koalas, puppies and llamas
Running and jumping, to yell really loud,
Showing off in front of a crowd,
Milkshake to drink, ice cream for tea,
My favourite things are special to me.

Cat this is delightful! I hope you never grow up!!

"Lunch of french fries and bubble gum"

Sounds like my kind of lunch (sugarless gum of course!)

John--This is wonderful. You're only as old as you allow yourself to be; I don't intend to ever grow up!!

I like this poem!! The young at heart will always be young, the young in body will grow old unless they are young at heart.

Love and hugs,

Thanks everyone, I'm pleased to have given you a laugh. Makes the writing worthwhile.
I don't think I will ever grow up, haven't so far anyhow

There are a couple of things I haven't done on there too, but imagination will suffice.
