Ode to a playground
by Brian F Kirkham
It’s all covered up now
buried in mortar and brick
the price of progress
A square plot
an oasis of fun
set in a Salford Square
Swings See-saws and Stumps
Situated by Streets
Settled by Kids
Bonbons and Ten Penny Mixes
Shared on a Seat
By friends down the street
Imagination Boundless
as Young minds they play
Passing the day
