Marbles.

Goldfinch60



There I was at school,

Playtime would come

And there we were,

Me and my pals playing,

Playing marbles around the playground,

Try to hit each other’s marbles

And winning them,

Winning them for our collection,

To make our collection bigger

And more impressive.

But time has now moved on

And in my old age

I find that on many occasions

I no longer win,

And find that I am losing them,

I seem to be losing my marbles.

      Oh yes! LOL

        I played marbles at primary school. If I played me special green marble the rules were:
        If I win, I keep your marble;
        If you win, we each keep our own marble.
        Bit unfair of me! lol.

          Dear Andy,
          Your poem brings back many childhood memories. Iā€™m not losing my ā€œmarblesā€ā€¦yet. At times I remember too much. Health issues do hinder my daily lifeā€¦but at least I still have my ā€œmarblesā€.

          Thank you for sharing.

            Would that I had your marbles.

            • Goldfinch60

              I am sure that they are still with you Peter.

              lol
              I loved playing marbles as a kid
              more visually striking than any computer
              thanks for the wonderfully vivid reminder, Andy

              • Goldfinch60

                My pleasure Mek, memories can be so wonderful.
