The bright sun inspires
children to dig in the sand
and shell the castle.
We called it 'larking' -
crikey - kids have fun -
comics, adventure spaces -
'Yarooh' - kids' cliches.
(Billy Bunter was too fat
to be paragoned 'wicked')
Children's favourites -
scary riding in Theme Parks
and over eating.
Our kids must grow up;
if not, we become bothered;
bereft if they die.
19 - teenage end;
adults are allegedly
as good as we get.
Childhood needs courage -
Dan Dare, a comic hero
amused us 'Daresents'!
