There's plenty
Of mayhem
Round the place
Where we live.
The air is filled
With the sound
Of tongues
From all races.
A gaggle of girls
Giggles,
Boisterous boys
Bicker
And the dogs bark,
All trying to catch
Some attention
There's noise
From the park
Where two teams,
Wearing shirts
Of different colours,
Share the honours,
Having drawn
Their match.
Some people say
That the kids of today
Are vulgar and rude,
Or uncouth.
But we must allow
Some leeway:
It's only the exuberance
Of youth.

Experience the surroundings, beautiful descriptions, mind fulness. Wonderful to be alive!

Don't take the young too serious, but employ them while they still know everything. Ask me.

Cheers Luigi! Tom

Thanks for the feedback, Paul, and to the ABC editors for the 'fruit'.

really liked "boisterous boys" and "a gaggle of girls giggles", and the rhymes, too are very satisfying. You caught the happy business of life
