here we used to play,
up and down along the hay.
hide and seek, fear factor too.
now just memories of blue.
because we are all grown up
some with little families,
others with a cat and a pup,
the rest with piles of school fees.
of course they all feel content
and probably cannot remember
just how much it meant
to us to be amongst the timber
before the stress of paying rent.
so now I gaze at the fallen barn,
that is missing a bit of its charm,
the skeletal slats sticking up
like broken bones capable of harm.
