Playgrounds

Know what I mean?

Everyone seems to have something to

Talk about, giggle, whisper, scream and shout about,

I mean, it's like being in a parrot cage.

And playgrounds are such pushy places.

Know what I mean?

Everyone seems to have to

Run about, jump, kick, do cartwheels, handstands, fly around,

I mean, it's like being inside a whirlwind.

And playgrounds are such patchy places.

Know what I mean?

Everyone seems to

Go round in circles, lines and triangles, coloured shapes,

I mean it's like being in a kaleidoscope.

And playgrounds are such pally places.

Know what I mean?

Everyone seems to

Have best friends, secrets, link arms, be in gangs,

Everyone, except me.

Know what I mean.
