NO MORE JUMPERS FOR GOAL POSTS

Posted by Biggus on April 6, 2011 - 11:00
from the ABC set ROMANTICALLY INCLINED TALES - FIRST LOVE

We didn’t think that life
Could get any better
We were young
Happy and content
Kicking footballs
Building carts
Climbing trees
Fishing in the pond
Swimming in the pool
Then they came along
Distracting us
With their undulations
Their cheap perfume
That seemed so exotic
Walking with their funny wiggles
Laughing with their girlish giggles
And the boyhood fun was over
No more jumpers for goal posts
No more war games in the woods
We still played in the woods
But then it was holding hands
Hugging and snogging
And playing with fun bumps
But no more jumpers for goal posts

Just great!

I read this then called out to my hubbie, who was downstairs, and asked him what he used to use for goalposts when he was a kid (if he could remember back that far, that was) and he called out, 'Jumpers!'

Nuff said;-)

Jumpers, coats - everybody did it !

You are doin' it too - begging dogs in the typography, it's not just me. Maybe it's a poetic pattern !

Hi Biggus,

just dropped by, to say congratulations on the cherries, well deserved.

But please, I don't want to sound stupid, but what
are fun bumps?
