Why I love the Playground

[Prince Romeo]

I just figured this part out. It's the name! See, I'm not really much of a small talker. Putting words down on the keyboard, that's easy. Get me in a room alone and ......er...ahem....I'm a great listener but not much on small talk. Now if you like to play wrestle, then I'm your guy!

That's where the name Playground connects with me. It reminds me of being back in elementary school. I'd head out to recess, to the "playground". I'd see the girls over by the monkey bars and I'd walk up to them. The one that liked would start teasing me and then the next thing I know, *POW*, I'd punch her in the arm and run away.

Many punches exchanged later, we were going "steady". What that meant, we weren't exactly sure. But it sure felt good didn't it?

Anyone need a punch?

*POW*

going steady.........

what a deal that was.......the bit with the ring on the chain around the neck......kind of like wearing a sign.....a time to play with situations which would later turn out to be very serious and so important...............I'm ready for recess now.............

Hey Romeo!

You have to catch me first - but I don't run fast!!! At least I never did on the playground - it was fun to get caught!

I didn't do much of the punch type stuff, but I remember in 3rd grade going to the apple orchard just behind the playground and sharing my first kiss with Bobby! Oh the fun of the playground! We weren't suppose to go to the orchard, but it was right next to the playground, so if we could sneak off and not get caught we did!

 

[Prince Romeo]

Yes, that's one of the important of the lessons of the "Playground" isn't it:

"You never want to run so fast that you don't get caught".

Otherwise what fun would there be.

I got in trouble in the 4th grade for chasing the boys around the playground and trying to kiss them. Funny thing though I always caught them. So by the time I got to 5th grade I had kissed every boy in my class at least once.

What a slut I was
