The Ten commandments

As kids my sister and I loved to recite this poem we learned in class 5 ...it goes like…

TIME, you old gipsy man

Will you not stay,

Put up your caravan

Just for one day?


All things I'll give youWill you be my guest,

Bells for your jennet

Of silver the best,

Goldsmiths shall beat you

A great golden ring,

Peacocks shall bow to you,

Little boys sing,

Oh, and sweet girls will

Festoon you with may.

Time, you old gipsy,Why hasten away?
~Ralph Hodgson

time really flies….as a kid I wanted to grow up asap because I wanted to be on my own…to do ‘things’ grown ups did….that reminds me of another poem my sister taught me(she does have a flare for poetry) ..............I don’t know who the author is


Grown ups ,grownups, grown ups
The world is full of grownups,
Grownups here and grownups there,
Grownups, grownups, every where
They are strict, they are stern,
They are shrewd, as well as firm,
The chide you and nag you,
They admonish you too
And when you are with them,
You don’t know what to do.
But still, I have a feeling that,

grownups are appealing
Could we get the love and care,
If grownups weren’t there
