I come from

little steps nursery playing with sand.

and from tall fences, playhouses and scooters.

I come from playing with cars on clean carpets

And going to grandma’s house climbing pear trees stone walls and pillars on the stairs.

I come from paddling pools with plastic rainbow balls

And from roundabouts snowman lolly’s and summer dresses .

I come from icy slopes wearing purple salopettes.

And Perth swimming lessons and frilly swim suits when I was 5.

I come from playing with my friends when I was young .

And arguing for the front of the line.
