Books….

Books, important things

Full of knowledge

Truth and lies

Freedom to think

Words have strength

Shout out loud

Of time and history.

So many subjects

Art, Biology, Cheese and wine

Gullivers travels

Earth and sky.

Let them live,

Don’t ban books

Or burn them

Fahrenheit 451

Flames lick away

Knowledge, peace, understanding

A bookshelf a day

Keeps misunderstanding

At bay.

Old TV

When I was young we used to see

Children’s programmes on tv

Chigley, Trumpton, Camberwick Green

Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb were seen.

Then came the Herbs and a dog called Dill.

Parsley the Lion, I remember him still….

The theme music that we would sing

The Clangers, and Magpie, fun they’d bring

Puppet shows galore there were on TV

Like Stingray and Thunderbirds you’d see.

With Bill and Ben

Wild flowerpot men!

So much to remember from years ago

When I was a child…Memory fast not slow!
