Inspire by Befoe the Internet by Phil Kaye

Before the InternetnPlaying football in the school fieldnthe only timer was the sunnKnee Deep in the Swamp trying to catch frognworried if the net would do the jobnWe would ride our bikes behind the old churchnTo the school playground just to sit on the roof and chatnCards in the basementnMovie nightsnSleepoversnnRunning through the little forest across the streetnChasing rabbits and dragonfliesnNo plan for if we caught themnnSneaking out from our backyard camping adventuresnCreepy walks around the lakennIt is funny how quickly these things just fade awaynNo kids playing outside anymorenAlmost silence in the summer
