Bogger on You<br /> <br /> Remember that old English phrase<br /> Often by us kids so well understood<br /> When playing follow the leader<br /> In our old favourite neighbourhood<br /> <br /> A dangerous feat like crossing a stream<br /> By stepping on rocks and not falling between<br /> The game we all played was enjoyed by us all<br /> So important we do it without a fall<br /> <br /> And the hills around would echo<br /> With our calls to come and compete<br /> I got a bogger on you<br /> Is a phrase we would often repeat<br /> <br /> And so it was in days of old<br /> As kids engaged in frolic and fun<br /> Oblivious to the dangers therein<br /> All day long we were wont to run<br /> <br /> Today the kids entertain themselves<br /> With exercises purely of the brain<br /> Through electronic fantasies on computers<br /> Really not meant to physically entertain<br /> <br /> What changes can we now expect<br /> To see in future generations cast<br /> For sure the grand old game of boggers<br /> Is lost to antiquity, a thing of the past<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
