Angel Sammy and Teddy took us back in time showing how kids had summer fun! Thankfully, the joy of bouncing about on a pogo stick still is popular and a great way to get outdoors. Bounce over to read more imaginative poems at TWO SPOILED CATS.
Her pigtails fly
when she does her pogo POUNCE!
🠝
His freckles wiggle on his cheeks
when he does his pogo BOUNCE!

19-Forties Summer FUN!
and
kids still love it in 20-TWENTY-ONE!

Thankful, as always, for my three grands!
One shown here perfecting his pogo bounce.

[we admit to cheating with this picture as it is not really 2021, but maybe more like 2015? grandboy is now a teenager more likely to be rock climbing or skateboarding these days, but the old photo worked!]
Bounce over with us to the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop at
Brian's Home Blog

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and bouncy post!!! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteWe had a pogo stick as children; not sure I ever got the hang of the dang thing!
ReplyDeleteWe like your poem about the pogo sticks. Pogoing hands free is quite a feat!
ReplyDeleteMom never got the hang of the pogo stick but her brother sure did and your grandson can do it with no hands! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteWonderful poem, and I love the pics of the grand showing how pogo-sticking is done with style!
ReplyDeleteThat brings back a lot of memories! Riding a bike, playing hide and seek, running races, climbing trees, reading Dick and Jane books, drinking water from the hose, and not coming home until dark.
ReplyDeleteI never had a pogo stick while growing up. Don't know why. I guess I didn't want one.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem and the shots of your grand is perfect.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. ♥

ReplyDeleteDad remembers a Pogo from the 50's and it is Timeless fun! Great photos of the grand
ReplyDeleteWhat a PERFECT poem for Poetry Thursday!!! Love the flashback photo of your grandson doing a mighty fine job of pogo-ing. So many memories came back to me when I found this photo to use for poetry this week - and if I'm not mistaken, this photo looks like it's just fresh out of the old "Dick and Jane" books!! Thanks for playing poetry with us Ann - BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam (and Teddy too)
The grandson was very good on his pogo stick.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to see your grand pogo-ing!
ReplyDeleteGreat poem!
Great poem. How refreshing to see a boy on a pogo stick instead of a cell phone. XO
ReplyDeleteSome fun things should never go out of style.
