Growing Up Takes Ages

From one to twelve apart from play
Boys and girls have lots to say
They laugh and cry and have fun to
Always finding things to do

Aunties uncles and lots more
Sometimes come in through the door
so written here some things they say
while waiting to go out to play

Seaside Christmas dentists to
Playschool, paper planes that flew
in verses here inside the pages
It's clear that growing up takes ages
