Poem

Haha, have fun reading the below. :D

Found this poem which I wrote last year for my LA project. Very funny, because I actually forced the words to rhyme.

Reminiscence

The old man gazed at the crowded playground,
Filled with kids, their energy unbound.
Their yells of joy pierced the city air;
The breeze played with his tangled white hair.

Childhood! He thought longingly to himself,
“How long ago that was; I can still remember myself,
On my first day of school, lost among people,
I started to cry, and was called a weeper.

But out of the crowd, a senior emerged,
And came right up to me, and our eyes converged;
He then offered his hand, and helped me up,
And even gave me a nice little cup.

This cup I kept, amidst my treasures,
And protected it I did, but despite my measures,
It fell off my desk one day, and broke into pieces,
To ease my sorrow, my mum ordered pizzas.

Cheese and mushrooms and pepperoni,
All my favourite toppings and a bowl of macaroni,
Yet nothing could ever compensate my loss,
Not even macaroni topped with cream cheese sauce."

Whilst the old man was busy recollecting his past,
There appeared a little boy with a leg cast,
A bunch of little kids surrounded him,
Pointing and laughing at whim.

The old man looked sadly at the boy,
Playing alone by himself with a little toy.
The old man sighed, and wondered with forlorn:
“Where have the good old times gone?”
