A FIFTIES FROLIC

++++++++++++++++


Walking through the park and by a playground,

I quickly looked around--

     No one there.


So now I had a merry fling:


      went up in a swing!

      whizzing floor to sky,  sky to floor,

      to sky,  to floor.


Then briskly running wanted more:


       jumped on a giddy roundabout,

                        whirled

       jumped off dizzy with a shout.


       Descended next a polished slide,

       (if any observed me,  I would have hid).


       Nearly scrambled up a tree--
      
       nearly?  Well-- I'm over fifty. . .

       er-- too old for that you see.


Nonetheless,  I walked home laughingly,

and thought an angel smiled at me.
