Child growing up in the 80’s

We had penny sweets

Space invaders 

And plenty of gum,

Pop music uplifting and having fun.

No distraction with smartphone 

We now can’t live without,

We had funny haircuts and rarely cared how we looked 

‘You tube’ was some one going inside a tube for a prank

And fizzy pop soda stream us what we simply made.. and drank.

There was ‘Chips’, A-team and superman 1,2 and 3

These times there were no phone, as we were that bit more free.

Generation game

‘Cheers’ and ‘just for laughs’ were the weekend trend,

And there was ‘magpie’ and ‘the art show’

And there was ‘heart beat’ where you often see a pencil flow.

There was super Friend’s and sesame street

On Saturday morning,

Where have these times gone 

Now I feel I need to be yawning 😂😂.
