Ode To Childhood Loves

I had a few childhood loves,
And I’m writing about them all.
Telling a bit about each one;
As much as I recall.

“Baby Alive” was my favorite doll.
Playing with her was extremely neat.
She was battery-operated,
And would drink and pee and eat.

My “inchworm” was a fun toy.
“Bouncy-riding” an addiction.
Never getting very far
Due to so much carpet friction.

The swing set in the yard
Sent me soaring toward the sky.
Sometimes it would tip forward.
Moments in which I thought I’d die.

My original list of loves
contain more favorites I will name.
Jacks and Trouble and Sorry
were all my favorite games.
