Tv Memories Poem by Angela Wybrow

There was ‘Rainbow' featuring Zippy, George and Bungle,
And quiz show, ‘On Safari', which was set in the jungle.
There was ‘Mr Benn' in his black suit and bowler hat,
And ‘Postman Pat', along with Jess, his beloved cat.

There was ‘Pitkins', ‘Fingerbobs' and ‘Hector's House',
And fearless, crime-fighting rodent, ‘Dangermouse'.
There was Crystal Tipps and her dog, Alistair,
And the marmalade-loving, ‘Paddington Bear'.

There was ‘Jim'll Fix It', where dreams came true,
‘A Handful of Songs' and ‘Why Don't You? '
There was ‘Mary, Mungo and Midge' living in a flat,
Gordon the Gopher, and superstar, Roland the Rat.

There was ‘Rupert The Bear' and ‘Sally And Jake',
And ‘Blue Peter', which featured things to make.
There was ‘Andy Pandy' and friend, Looby-Loo,
‘Bagpuss', ‘Barnaby' and the cosmic ‘Button Moon'.

There was ‘Playdays', ‘Playschool' and ‘Playaway',
And spiders, Itsy and Bitsy helped host ‘Paperplay'.
There were flowerpots inhabited by ‘Bill and Ben',
And we experienced various moods of the ‘Mr Men'.

There was ‘Superted', ‘Noddy' and ‘Rentaghost',
And ‘Emu's World', with Rod Hull as the host.
There was ‘Trumpton', ‘Chigley', and ‘Camberwick Green',
And ‘Wombles' in Wimbledon keeping the Common clean.

There was ‘Basil Brush', ‘The Smurfs' and ‘Captain Pugwash',
And Lady Penelope of ‘Thunderbirds', who was really posh.
‘The Magic Roundabout', had a theme tune which was merry.
There was ‘Rugrats', ‘Penelope Pitstop' and ‘Tom And Jerry'.

As children, we watch TV, and many characters, we befriend,
But as we grow up, those special relationships come to an end.
Even as adults, those carefree days we will never ever forget;
We will always remember the fun we had, and the people we met.
