Once upon a time in a land not too far,
There lived a happy group, a bright shining star.
There was a boy named Guy, and his sister, a girl,
And their neighbour's grandchild, with curly hair and a twirl.

They would play every day, with their friends and their guests,
A brother and a child, all happy, no stress.
Their mum would watch over, with Ms by her name,
Making sure they were safe, and all played the same.

They would run and they'd jump, and they'd sing and they'd dance,
With joy in their hearts, and laughter askance.
They knew that each day was a chance to have fun,
And they played and they played, until the day was done.

So if you're a child, and you want to have fun,
Just gather a group, and start on the run.
You'll meet a new friend, a boy or a girl,
And maybe a guest or a grandchild with a twirl.

And with a brother or sister or neighbour close by,
And a mum or a Ms to watch over and try,
You'll have the best day, with memories to keep,
And you'll know that your friends are the treasures you seek.
