We put children's toys away
because
we're told that we are too old
to play
with childhood games

in many cases that is probably true
but
once we lose that fuse
that burnt through
our youth
we might as well give up
and that is the truth,

Snap
Happy Families
Old Maid
Ludo
Cluedo
and you all know
Blind Man's Buff

this is the stuff
we were
young for.
