79 Bouncy Castle
1
If you are not of a certain age,
Then you won’t know of a bed spring’s fame,
As there was nothing like a box spring then,
No, you had real springs on a frame.
2
Heavy duty coil springs,
Tied with wire in a steal buttress,
Over the springs you put a cover,
Over the cover was a thin cotton mattress.
3
And we kids soon discovered,
That Mom was not quite as keen,
Never giving us any credit,
For inventing the trampoline.
4
Mom went out to visit the neighbor,
We kids were goofing off in Donna’s room,
We realized our time was now,
As Mom would be returning soon.
5
We knew we didn’t have much time,
Into evil we would tread,
Robert and I crossed the hall,
And leaped up onto our own beds.
6
Donna soon joined us in the air,
Flying high was the event,
Robert leaped from bed to bed,
Donna turned a blanket into a tent..
7
Then our dog Penny started barking,
Then he leaped up from the floor,
I think all four of us were in the air,
When we saw Mom standing in the door.
