Childhood Memories. (2)

33 Replies

There is no Father Christmas

What really makes it bad

For all those years I didn't know

It really was my Dad

I also found to my dismay

There is no Easter Bunny

Although I had begun to think

That one sounded funny

The fairy who took my tooth

Sounded rather girly

So I gave up on that one

I remember fairly early

The boogie man they said would come

If I did misbehave

I didn't really give much time

Cos I was very brave.

None of these existed

I found because I read

But I never have regretted

That they once lived in my head.

I had forgotten I've already used that title until I saw the list of related posts on the right. Not the same poem though, they warned me I keep repeating myself. It's an age thing. 🙄

Of course it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real? (To quote a wise man)

Stewth! That's what I've been fighting against! 😱

i don't have childhood memories?

Perhaps i was too young to remember things from the past

Or where they so boring that in my brain they do not last

Maybe i was created some time later for a joke

My dad was a mad professor and probably did it for a joke

So now i am old it's such a shame to really not recall

What the hell happened when i was very small? :)

Problem is it doesn't hold many mega bites and only remembers Tuna. :)

in reply to skischool

You are twenty years younger than me!

You haven't reached your prime

When you have grown up a bit

You'll have memories just like mine.

Ahh thank you Master Po i will look forward to some of that

I am shortly to have a brain transplant donated by a cat :) x

in reply to skischool

You can't kid me. You are the one who remembers everybodies real name and what they have posted in the past. I have to use my own name else I would forget it myself and my date of birth to remind me how old I am to stop me going gallivanting too far off my comfort zone.

No my memory really is very poor and it's true i remember very little about my childhood and as for stuff on here it's all recorded in the archives so to speak so heaven forbid if any of us tell porkies or we would soon be found out. :) x

I just looked at my salt lamp and thought it was a turnip, but maybe I was just having a Magritte moment 🎩

I always knew there was no Father Christmas as I watched through half closed eyes my Grannie put the presents by my bed when I was very young😀 I thereafter spent the next few years I lived with her pretending there was so as not to disappoint her . Re the tooth fairy lol she took my tooth but never left me a sixpence grrr as for the Easter bunny he was never missed as I never heard of him BUT the BOOGIE man scared the wits out of me for years and years 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

I’m glad you have happy childhood memories, I’m afraid I didn’t as I my parents were not happy at all, although individually they loved us. Looking back my brother and I think my father had PTSD as he served in Burma from 1944 to 1946. I am sure many families suffered in that way. So sad.

in reply to Carnival567

Oh that is sad. 🙁 I have sad memories too. My father was an auxiliary fireman during WW2 called to the Boole Docks blitz after a full days work repairing Mosquito aeroplanes. He was a cabinet maker by trade and those planes were mainly made of wood. And relatives were lost in the war. Fortunately the good ones are easier for me to recall. It would have been very hard on the Burma men to hear the victory celebrations going on whilst they were still fighting on.

Every family suffered of course, unavoidable. My father in law was with the last people out of Narvik, and lost many friends when HMS Glorious was sunk. He was part of a small group left behind to throw all the Gladiators into the lake before the Germans reached them. He was RAF regular.
