Things We Used To Do Poem by Susy Evelyne
Things We Used To Do
Remember the things we used to do?
Like the conker I'd slip into your shoe,
Only to find it back in mine...
Sometimes I'd like to turn back time
And have all the nonchalance of youth,
To those days when in truth
We had nothing more pressing to do
Than hide a conker in a shoe.

Lovely poem. It really made me smile and determined to put a conker in someone's shoe as soon as possible, or do something equally wacky. I'm sure I'll feel young again when I hear the scream...
I like this one. If I could turn back time, I would be back playing conkers. I don't recall anyone ever putting them in shoes though. Is it one of those strange West Country rituals I wonder?

A great poem about youth, innocence, and the yearning to get them both back.
Loved your comment, @Elena Plotkin.
