Who wants to play?
Remember when you and I were young.
Any summer night
as long as it was not raining
you can hear kids playing
a game, and
this game of
Hide and seek seemed to always
start with
"Who's it?"
No volunteer, here goes
eenie, minee, mo
catch a tiger by his toe
and you are not the one to be it.
Usually goes for a couple of minutes
till the last one left is the one to be
IT.
Counting now,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and so on to at least 30;
to give time to scatter and hide,
Ready or not here I come the seeker would say,
and the rest of us without getting caught
would try to make it make to base, hopefully not
to be seen and caught.
Remember also if the seeker seemed not to find
anyone hiding there was a saying or a little tune--
Ollie, Ollie oxen free- meaning all that were
hiding can come home free and the game starts
again!
Oh, I remember those nights even now.
Anyone for a game of Hide and seek?
