Back to the knotty pine room tales <br />Back to the days of skinned knees and pigtails <br />Let me refresh your memory here <br />This room was made for my brothers' dear <br /> <br />But they were much older than I <br />So off they went and the room became mine <br />Many happy memories attained <br />And many happy times playing games <br /> <br />This room was at the end of a long hall <br />And the room itself was not very small <br />So it became our bowling alley <br />Or a sailing pirate ships galley <br /> <br />We'd put some furniture wax down on the floor <br />And slide down the hallway through the door <br />See who could end up closest to the wall <br />Without hitting or a great big fall <br /> <br />When it rained outside <br />In we'd come and all would hide <br />No one ever found me <br />They all wondered how I was never seen <br /> <br />You see my brother's has a train set <br />My Dad made a trap door inset <br />Passing from one closet to the next <br />It left the hunters all vexed <br /> <br />That knotty pine room was so grand <br />Lent for the best imagination in the land <br />Aren't the good old days a wonderful thing <br />Especially the happy memories they bring<br /><br />JoJo Bean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hide-seek-such/
