AS TIME GOES BY

 

                                    AS TIME GOES BY

 

 Uphill, down dale, lush acres, nature's scenery,

sunshine, foliage, flowers, exuberant beauty,

days of yore, horse and buggy, in vibrant daylight

folks delighted, viewing such a scenic sight.

 

Trams, buses, trucks, cars, bumper to bumper,

carbon spews, as unhealthy fumes occur,

cities, population a never-ending spiral,

high rise apartments, now visually viral.

 

How will families cope, with no backyards for play,

children will be obsessed by phones, laptops, each day.

 

Councils must create playgrounds, parks, all to share

so young can have fun, frolic, in healthy fresh air.
