Childhood Memories
memories here of my childhood
farm boy trying to recall
I can not remember much
in our model "A" Ford coupe
riding on the package shelf
on to grandma's place we go
while my mom her work not done
washing little family's clothes
played and played in grandma's grove
sitting there out on the porch
exploring some newly found
loving all my grandma's help
when new car we were to get
grandma heard it first from me
whipping from my pop I got
mom and dad were shucking corn
grandpa's trailer trailed behind
for me playing in the corn
memories these of my childhood
preschool no more I recall
till six can't remember much
all there is for you to know

The same goes for my poetry attempts (don't know how, but I enjoy it!).
It sure felt good to know..

ReplyDeleteJim, interesting phrasing there. Good memories mixed with bad. I suppose we all have some of those. I've had my hide tanned a few times too!
