Back and forth,
Up in the air,
Stomach somersaulting.
Stolen treats
On children’s swing,
Heart to mouth pole-vaulting.
Someone comes.
It’s not a kid.
The parkie’s on his way.
Jump off fast before you’re caught.
That really made my day.
Gasping air,
Knees to chin.
No wonder kiddies love it.
So much better being on board
Than standing by to shove it.
