“Enchanted Childhood”

• The enchanted childhood days
We used to goof in craze
Back when we were a kid
Down the alleys we used to skid
• We made balls out of socks
We threw small rocks
At the neighbors window pane
And made her ran insane

• We stuffed pencils in our nose
In a world where anything goes
We made animal sounds in class
Answer back in sass
• We ran away from home
Down streets we used to roam
In search for the Atlantis
Tracking down the mantis

• We had bottles on our tables
Filled with grasshoppers along labels
We tied the cats with strings
Took the canary and pasted its wings
• We sneaked into my moms room
Wearing her costumes and perfume
Then went back to school
To enter the girls’ restroom to fool

• We threw tomatoes
Stuffed in exhaust pipes potatoes
We chewed bubble gum
Like a gang of evil scum
• We sneaked into the school hall
Drilled to create tiny holes
Stuffed firecrackers on the walls
We blew them as we sat on the stalls

• We fooled with the old
Called my grandpa old
We stole his patched hat
Continued yelling him fat
• We had days that now we cannot hold
We had warm days but now we are so cold
Back when I was a child
Together we played running wild
Then you entered my life
From a friend you became my wife

• Now our grandchildren call us old
Make fun of us calling us old
They, now scream in my ears
Making fun of my elderly years
