1950’s kids

 Spanky Scotty GIF

 

Playing marbles on the pavement

Five stones on the floor

Collecting cigarette cards

Hit stockinged balls against the door

 

Playing soccer with a tennis ball

Knock down Ginger on the run

Scrumping apples still to ripen

Runouts one by one

 

Mothers came out calling loud

For it was way too dark to see

Emerging from our bombed-out camps

That stank of damp and urchins’ pee
