Will you look at this? It’s an early morning post! And that would be because I’m off to the Normandy
you put up the garden fence?
I ran up the stairs
and down the stairs
over and over
with the glee that only a child can muster?
One at time
two at a time
three at a time.
Sometimes there was a glass of orange squash
waiting for me,
sometimes there was a glass for you.
Who were you working with?
I only remember you
and the brilliant blue sky.
At four at a time
I tumbled round and round.
When I opened my eyes there was a halo of heads looking down.
You all seemed very tall
for I was very small.

Aw - lovely, V! So nicely evokes childhood and tumbling down stairs!
Enjoy Normandy - are you planning on bringing home some Calvados? ;-)
I liked it, don't elaborate on the orange squash, it has a sort of simple assumption that we all know what orange squash is, as a child would.
I think...Enjoy Normandy...say hello to Norman...
Aww...It reminds me so much of childhood innocence. Very well done, V. :-)
I hope you have a blast in Normandie. Visit Saint-Georges-de-Boscherville, if you have time. It's an absolutely gorgeous piece of Romanesque architecture.
Hello Vanilla, eh no I didn't bring any Calvados back, but I did nearly bring something else. Ooooh....
I did say hello to Norman Jon, but he kind of stared at me all funny as if he was wondering who the hell I was.
Thank you Jefferson, I didn't visit St. Georges de whatsitville either but I did spend an inordinately long time in DIY stores and supermarkets. Don't ask, I was visiting family.
Ooh, tell, what did ya nearly bring back...???!!!
I told ya and you commented in like less than two minutes from posting. I'm impressed!
